Has the “xkill” command been replaced or removed entirely in Ubuntu 18.04?
1
I am curious if the Alt + F2 xkill command has been replaced by something similar, or if it has been removed entirely.
I know we can use other methods to stop processes, I'm just curious.

It is working fine in my main installation. What do you get when you run xkill in terminal?

@Kulfy My cursor doesn't change. Nothing seems to happen.

I mean not in Alt+F2 dialog but in terminal (which is usually launched using Ctrl+Alt+T)

It works fine then. I didn't know it would work from the terminal.

It would work fine in terminal. So here I see the problem that you are not able to use xkill from Alt+F2. Right? Can you run other commands? Like what happen if you runnautilusin Alt+F2 dialog?
