[SOLVED] LXQt panel restart

MickeyRat · 2025-04-05 12:45:24

Many times when I'm performing an update the LXQt panel goes away. I've searched but, I can't find a way to restart it. At least not one that works. Thanks for any replies.

Does it crash?

Errr… you mean like typing "lxqt-panel" into any kind of shell?

Thanks for the reply. I did try typing lxqt-panel. Nothing happened. If I kill the panel process, "nohup lxqt-panel &" will restart it but, when it dies during an update, I don't get it back.

I'm not sure whether it's not present because I've rebooted or because none was generated but, I don't have any core dumps.

I was hoping there'd be a quick command that I hadn't found. Apparently there isn't. This is a special purpose box not my daily driver. It's not worth going to a great deal of trouble to solve. So, if there's not a quick solution, I'll mark this one solved. I'll start another thread if I get more info.

You don't want lxqt-panel to crash itfp, check the coredumps.
Depending on why it crashes, "sudo touch /etc/systemd/do-not-udevadm-trigger-on-update" might prevent that, but that's pure speculation.
