Tbf, thanks to X11 Linux isn't safe from stuff like that.
When I use my VR glasses, Steam sometimes creates an uncloseable X window that isn't attached to any process. I don't think even killing XWayland gets rid of it.
On Plasma Desktop, pressing Ctrl+Alt+ESC kills anything you click on next, instantly. There is truly nothing you can't kill that way, even the desktop itself.
Don't think I haven't tried that.
I also tried the debug menu,
xkill
using the window ID, … it's immortal.Have you tried silver, crosses or a stake?
Do I need to #include those first?
Haven't had to use them recently, check out the man?
is that just shortcut to xkill? or own system?
I assume it's a different system since it works on Wayland, but idk
I don't know, but I think it's works on Wayland too. Probably something built in.
wow that sounds so handy, thanks
I've run into this, seems like steam VR can't relaunch properly unless you close till that dead window with a reboot.
