restore xfce configuration after a git checkout #139

Open artic92 opened 4 years ago

artic92 commented 4 years ago

After checkout from a branch to another, sometimes the command history and the panel don't update properly. The goal of this task concerns about finding a way to restart the xfce daemon in order to reload the configuration.

apparently a reboot seems to work, therefore it would be just needed to reboot the daemon or something similar.

Solution: killall xfconfd && xfce4-panel -r

artic92 commented 4 years ago

You must reset the working directory two times, example:

git co next-master
git co evoleo
git reset --hard
git reset --hard
killall xfconfd && xfce4-panel -r
git co next-master
git reset --hard
git reset --hard

This solution is not clean. After a reboot, both Xfce panels don-t show and it-s not possible restart the configuration. These problems might be related to killing the daemon, which leaves it in a messy state. Need to find another way.

Now xfce-panel does not start at bootup. Workaround for that is to run xfce4-panel from terminal/application finder
