How to restart KDE without reboot of system

Hello

I tried to do this in 2 ways:

1)
- su
- /etc/rc.d/kdm stop
- /etc/rc.d/kdm start

2)
- setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp      # to use keyboard (ctrl+atl+Backspace)


But here is the problems.
Method 1) -> there is no sound when I try to play movies (wth VLC player for example).
Method 2) -> does't work. It tells me "No protocol specified"

Re: How to restart KDE without reboot of system

Log out of KDE log in to vc. Then either stop kdm as you specified above, or given that it gives your problems, use

sudo htop

to kill it. It's not "pretty" but it is effective.
Then start KDM with xinit. Edit xinit that instead of TWM it starts KDM.


Why do you even need to restart KDE without reboot?

Why do you even need to restart KDE without reboot?

Because I'm newbie :)

I thought it is normal on linux.
Yesterday, I made many changes (about 10-20) in my synaptics configuration file.
After each one I wanted it to take effect, but I have to reboot each time.

Re: How to restart KDE without reboot of system

A simple logoff restarts KDE, does it?
Also, the most effective and fastest way if you have Magic sysreq enabled: alt-sysrq-K
