Desktop not responding after interrupting fc-cache

  • 772

Last night, I was configuring some fonts for use with polybar.

I ran the command fc-cache -fv It was taking a while so had it on in the background while working on something else.

Came back and my laptop had run dead. Rebooted it, and now I can hear my harddrive working hard, and a program "gjs" keeps continually opening and closing. No apps can be run, and on attempt to run them they mouse just has the circle next to it, or I cant maximize them.

Is there a way I can fix this without having to completely reinstall ubuntu?

Ubuntu version 24.04

Thanks :>

Edit: rebuilt font cache using no gui terminal and it works again

    I rebuilt the font cache using 'fc-cache -fv' again in the no gui terminal (using CTRL + Alt + F3) as the normal one didnt load.

    Now everything works as normal :D Thanks to @guiverc
