[Bug 249908] New: rcxdm restart doesn't work when you're in X
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249908 Summary: rcxdm restart doesn't work when you're in X Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: francisg@gmail.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com rcxdm restart presumably kills itself off if you run the command while running X. Could this possibly be changed so that the X server and/or KDM/GDM can be restarted with rcxdm, while in X? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Since xdm handles starting and killing the Xserver, stopping xdm kills the Xserver. Maybe you want to use "rcxdm reload" instead. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Must be a bug in gdm, it doesn't seem to handle SIGHUP correctly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Right, but if you're in X it never manages to get to the rcxdm start part, right? What other way is there to really fully restart X+KDM/GDM (while you're inside X)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
