DESCRIPTION:

Actually I can’t restart lipstick (Silica UI) from terminal in a Xperia 10 II

PRECONDITIONS:

Everything seems up & run correctly:
[defaultuser@Xperia10II-DualSIM ~]$ systemctl --user status lipstick.service
● lipstick.service - The lipstick UI
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/lipstick.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Process: 5413 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/dummy_compositor (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 5445 (lipstick)
CGroup: /user.slice/user-100000.slice/user@100000.service/lipstick.service

[defaultuser@Xperia10II-DualSIM ~]$ systemctl restart /usr/lib/systemd/user/lipstick.service

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Open terminal
  2. systemctl --user restart lipstick
  3. killall -3 lipstick
  4. systemctl --user stop lipstick
  5. systemctl --user start lipstick
  6. Any command that usually restart home screen, here fails

EXPECTED RESULT:

Lipstick should restart and working as it does after full phone restart

ACTUAL RESULT:

Every command I try, leads to an unresponsive home screen, but instead, it seems to broke the home screen.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

(Please ALWAYS attach relevant data such as logs, screenshots, etc…)

did you try first ? :

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=../../display/wayland-0

then restart lipstick ( have too some trobles with starting GLESv2 appliacitons from terminal ( when try debug it with gdb server )

#5

I have just done:

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=../../display/wayland-0

and then:

systemctl --user restart lipstick

But there is no difference with only:

systemctl --user restart lipstick

After restarting, lipstick always freezes home screen.

Should I do something more?

#6

The next OS update, 4.2.0, contains the fix for this.

Yep, lipstick in 4.2.019 (early access) can now be restarted either by Sailfish Utilities or the usual command;

 systemctl --user restart lipstick
