How to logout after Cinnamon crashes

Post by warrickguy »

Mint 17.1 with Update Manager up to date. After a Cinnamon crash, which Desktop Environment or Window Manager is running? When this happens I can't find a place in the Menu system to logout and have to resort to opening a terminal and rebooting. Is there a terminal command I can use to logout?

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (restart X server), but you will lose any open program data (welcome to the crappy Linux DE reality)

Hopefully, when Mint 17.2 is released and Cinnamon is upgraded you would be able to restart Cinnamon without losing data/open programs with Ctrl+Alt+Esc

Or Ctrl+Alt+F1, login and

Code: Select all

sudo reboot
