Howdy
First time looking at running KDE, so bare wif me please :>
Running FreeBSD 5.2.1 R.
cvsup run over - cvs/ports/src
Installed - XFree86 4.4.0 - Via Xfree86 Xinstall.sh
Installed - KDE 3.2.3 - /usr/ports/x11/kde3 - make install clean
When I type in startx I've finding it jumps to some type of screen with just a shell running. If I type: startkde in there, KDE will start. But, this login shell stays there and I can only min. it. Errors that pop up in this shell.
The script: "xinitrc" is a system script and it is up to the system administrator (YOU :-)) to edit it. If you want to run KDE, then it is going to need to end with:
exec $KDEDIR/bin/startkde
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used. (!! KDE is a gui last time i looked)I wouldn't loose sleep over that error. I get them too and I can't see that they are a problem.
Few more errors.
Lauched ok, pid = 527
Pretty much all apps work fine. Sound doesn't, but not concerened atm, breif look at that and just need to add in some stuff to loader.conf
Also getting a: Could not init font path element /usr/X11RB/../CID/, removing from list etc.
Maybe that directory doesn't exist, but this won't cause any harm either.
Viewing log in /var/log seems to suggest everything else is loading fine.
I have no .xinitrc file located in my home dir which says to me, thats a problem.
Normally, I would suggest that you use the system wide one which is: "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" on Linux (your path might be different on FreeBSD).
I have created a user after installing kde 3.2.3 and finding that I still don't get a .xinitrc file in my home dir.
If you want that file, you are going to have to write it.
