How do I clear an X instance that still has JPanels in it

When I improperly ^C-ed out of Main.java, JPanels were still running. How do you restart X? Thanks.

Have you tried hitting ctrl+shift+s, and then putting in:

exit 1

Also, you can click on the x:

(works for any window)

very strange why you can't just do Ctrl+C, maybe it's something about how the terminal is not the same as something like a website hosted on localhost:8080? (The website will remain online until you reload, even if the backend behind it is down)

Report to bugs as well! Thanks!

@Coder100 That didn't work, And I right-click exited and now I'm really hosed. The JPanels don't even have close boxes on them any more.

I need a way to completely reload https://RedCrossRedTargetAssignment.psb-david-petty.repl.run. Simply reloading the browser doesn't work... I get the same hosed X instance!

so exit 1 didn't work? @psb_david_petty

@Coder100 From the shell? All it gives me is a dead shell. When I hit Run again, the shell starts up from where it was and does not restart X.

@psb_david_petty have you tried running, in the console, pkill x11vnc.

If that doesn't work, you could try pkill Xorg or pkill fluxbox. They should stop the window manager / x server.

pkill init should forcefully restart the whole REPL.

Or, how do I get a new instance of https://RedCrossRedTargetAssignment.psb-david-petty.repl.run ? Just reloading the window doesn't restart Java Swing.

you can only run it in the repl itself :( @psb_david_petty

Also, what script generates the .....Starting X message? I can just rerun that, maybe?

Oh, I ran it from another account and used the Stop button and got:

Also cat /home/runner/vnc-1e20112b-17b1-4615-abe1-8b52fc3eb892/hs_err_pid201.log was empty.

So, I changed setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE) to do nothing rather than exit, because it sems to leave the X server in a partial state when you click the close box on any window.

But I really, really, really want to be able to restart the X server myself! HELP!
