I’ve seen stuff like this happen occasionally when using VNC. The cure has
always been to restart the window manager, by doing (as root):
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
[wait 10 seconds]
systemctl isolate graphical.target
Unfortunately, this will also kill rdairplay(1), thus interrupting any on-air
playout.
Perhaps a VNC client acting badly? Has there been a recent change in remote
access patterns to this system —e.g. somebody using a different VNC client?
Cheers!
