Desktop just went gray...

Desktop background went totally gray after booting. Tried reinstalling xfdesktop4 with no luck. Any suggestions? OS is opensuse 15.1. Thanks.

Re: Desktop just went gray...

Could possibly be many things.

Is xfdesktop running?

ps -ef | grep xfdesktop

...if not, start it by running xfdesktop.

If opensuse uses ~/.xsession-errors, there may be some info in that file as to what is happening.

Appears so,

user@somewhere:~> ps -ef | grep xfdesktop
user    5188  5165  0 08:52 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto xfdesktop

.xsession-errors is a blank file. Thanks.

Okay, got it. Reboot and terminal restart of xfdesktop resolved this.
