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
