Ubuntu – How to restart Unity

compizunity

I know about unity --reset command.
But how can I simply restart Unity without resetting its profile?

Best Answer

I don't use Unity but given what I know of its mechanics, this should work:

unity

You'll want to stick that in a run box (Alt+F2) rather than a terminal or it'll break when you exit the terminal.

If you want to run it from a terminal use:

setsid unity
