Hi all,
I got two KDE-related newby questions:
1. How do I restart a KDE session after I changed some config files? In
Linux this is
/etc/init.d/kdm restart
But since there is no init.d on FreeBSD, I'm stuck.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarts X and kdm. I haven't tried it, but I suppose
you could run /usr/local/bin/startkde and see what happens. Or you could
issue a command like this kill -HUP `cat /var/run/kdm.pid`.
2. Is there any way I can shutdown KDE and get back to a root shell? If I
choose 'log out' from KDE, I am still in the KDE environment and fixed to
choose another user to login again.
If all you need is a root shell, Ctrl-Alt-F1->F7 will get you all the root
shells you'd ever need.
If you mean you want to kill the Xserver and not have it restart, kill
-TERM `ps -auxw | grep X11R6/bin/X | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
should do the trick.
If I choose 'shutdown KDE', it issues a shutdown command to shutdown my
PC, and that's also not what I want. I just want to shutdown KDE and get
back into a root shell. Think it's an easy thing to configure, but where?
btw, I'm running KDE 3.5.1 on FreeBSD 6.0.
So am I.
