Got my LXDE stuck

[ab1jx]

This is on a Raspberry Pi with Buster. I was working on something else and somehow I enabled 2 network manager buttons at once and now neither works, the network doesn't work, and I'm on a different machine (a Chromebook). The labels on the buttons are slightly different (Network Status Monitor and Manage Networks) so I was curious but now the machine is useless, even after a reboot.

How can I undefine at least one of these buttons and make it work again?

At first I thought it should be simple to fix by just deleting my config files and letting it revert to defaults. But I was logged in as root. I think there is still a set but not in a normal place.

For problems with network management buttons on the graphical interface, you can check the processes and logs related to the graphical interface using commands such as ps or journalctlpumpkin panic.

I have 2 pairs of identical buttons for the network stuff, they don't do anything. Not much works at all. I swapped out the SD card and booted into something else for now. I can still read it when it isn't booted. It's like 2 processes are fighting each other. Not even sure top or ps work. I can recover files from it still.

Wish I could do a screenshot but I'd need to use a camera. Some of the buttons have red Xes, it's very unhappy. Some things I click respond after a few seconds, most don't seem to at all. I do screenshots with xwd and don't have a button defined so I need to call it from a terminal. Haven't seen one of those in weeks on there.

Have you checked the logs related to the graphical interface?

I don't know, it was just an SD which I could still copy things from when booted from something else. It was a big deal for a few days, it's somewhere in a pile of them now.
