Hi, I need some help
This is for a home computer
My desktop manager is freezing (XFCE). I can ssh into the system.
But I do not know how to restart the desktop manager.
My google fu is not working. I google by "restart desktop manager fedora
24" but do not get anything remotely useful. Maybe I am not using the
magic incantation words.
First, you'd be wise to look at all the various logs to find out why
it's freezing. I use XFCE as well and I don't have that issue.
Is it the desktop (session) manager or the display manager? The desktop
manager would be something like "killall -9 xfce4-session" and it should
restart. There are a number of different display managers that could
be used, however (lightdm, sddm, etc.). I use "lightdm" so the command
would be "killall -9 lightdm" to kill it.
YMMV
