There is a way to restart GUI without restarting the entire VenusOS?

Hi,

I am doing some QT modification to my RPI installation in order to add more useful information on the front tiles and I am looking for a way to apply modifications without restarting the OS.

There is a way to reload the QT files without restarting the OS?

Thanks,

Mihai

You can do it from the command-line:

#to stop the gui:
svc -d /service/gui

#to start the gui:
svc -u /service/gui

Hi,

There is also a way without using the command line: change language to some other -> GUI restarts. Then change it back -> GUI restarts again.

Regards,

Markus
