KDE not starting

I've problem with KDE. On clean installed arch 0.8 and 0.7.2 KDE not start as user.
startx gives
startkde: Starting up...
/opt/kde/bin/startkde: line 302: 2373 Segmentation fault ksplash --nodcop
/opt/kde/bin/startkde: line 336: 2375 Segmentation fault LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup

startkde: Shutting down...
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory

startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
startkde: Done.
Login from kdm also not works. In kdm.log I have
QSettings: error creating /tmp/2049372133/.qt
QSettings: failed to open file '/tmp/2049372133/.qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc'

On root kde works fine.

I don't think so. I do chown -R for user and /tmp has permissions drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4,0K tmp
When I starting as user on console dcopserver and ksplash I get segmentation fault.
On my old Arch, that I update from version 0.5 or 0.6 in kdm.log also is
QSettings: error creating /tmp/1339739184/.qt
QSettings: failed to open file '/tmp/1339739184/.qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc'
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
but kde work on user.
I don't know if it's important but I install from base cd.

[Solved] KMS enabled. KDE not starting

Hello.
I have enabled KMS using this article http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79509
I got an error when tryed to install mesa-full from AUR then i forget to disable KMS in this file /etc/modprobe.d/
Now i can`t start KDE neither to sart any virtual console.When i press Ctrl+Alt+F2,3,4... my screen goes off. So i guess the simplest way to dealing with this problem is to boot to console and from there to disable KMS. How can i do that when my systam boot directly to init 5 and from there i have nowhere to go.
And another question somehow relate...what`s the diference between Arch linux and Archlinux Fallback.
Last edited by svejaka (2010-02-02 14:36:34)

Fallback = previous kernel. So if the kernel is the problem, using fallback is the solution. This won't help here, though.
Assuming you use grub:
in the boot menu hit e for edit, select the kernel line, hit e again, append 'single', then hit b for boot.
This gets you a maintenance shell where you can fix things.

Arch not starting - no console login

Hi guys,
I've been trying stuff for myself for some time now, but seems I need your help.
For a few weeks now, my Arch Linux i868/KDEMod-System is not starting anymore. Last thing I remember is to do an upgrade to the latest KDE(Mod) packages (4.5.0 I guess), but I don't think thats the problem. Here's what happens:
When I boot Arch, it just stops at some point towards the end of the boot process - soon after ntp and boinc daemons are loaded - with the message "Error opening display", and eventually error messages about vc processes respawning too fast - the virtual consoles 1-x, I guess. So no chance to login. The only reaction I get is the switch to runlevel 6 when pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL.
I thought it was an X11 issue and switched drivers from nvidia to nv to vesa, no success. I then disabled loading KDE in the inittab, no change either. Now I am down to runlevel 3, but still the same. I am a bit confused because I thought X shouldn't try to start anymore like this, but I still get "error opening display".
The grub menu Arch fallback option doesn't do anything different either. Next thing I thought about is using an older kernel, but there's just one in /boot. /var/log's don't look helpful to me either... excerpts at the bottom.
Any ideas?

Xaver

Xorg does not start (timeouts) with "no screens found"

After years of my system working correctly, this has been happening for the last ten days.
Many times - not all of them - xorg does not start, and I get greated with the standard console login prompt.
Checking in /var/log/ the xorg.0.log, it says that "no screens found".
I am using an nvidia VGA with nvidia driver 190.xx from extra.
I am using KDE, from inittab (not with kdm as a deamon).
Initial xorg.conf used to be:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "True"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Graphics Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "My Graphics Card"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
Viewport 0 0
EndSubSection
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
Now I have trimmed it down to:
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Graphics Card"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
But the problem remains.
The problem started ten days ago.
The previous night I had updated the following packages (I provide a section of pacman.log):
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded acct (6.3.2-2 -> 6.5.1-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded coreutils (8.2-1 -> 8.4-1)

[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded psmisc (22.8-1 -> 22.10-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded zlib (1.2.3.4-3 -> 1.2.3.4-4)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded recordmydesktop (0.3.8.1-1 -> 0.3.8.1-2)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded smbclient (3.4.4-1 -> 3.4.5-1.1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded samba (3.4.4-1 -> 3.4.5-1.1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded smartmontools (5.38-2 -> 5.39-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded tzdata (2009t-1 -> 2010a-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded whois (4.7.36-1 -> 5.0.0-1)
So since nothing on xorg was updated, maybe the new coreutils is the more likely suspect?

no, i install nvidia and then xorg i try startx without result.
Right now i am from Ubuntu, i am going to install arch on virtualbox and i will answer to any other questions.
Thank you
The reason you were asked if you rebooted is because installing the nvidia driver also installs a kernel module. That kernel module
needs to be installed in the running kernel, either by invoking "depmod nvidia" or rebooting, providing everything installed correctly. You
may need to put the module name in your modules section of rc.conf and then reboot.
The absence of that kernel module explains your error message of not finding that kernel module. :-)
iirc the .install already does the depmod
Note to TS: if you use virtualbox you can't use your hosts video card so you will have to use the vboxvideo driver. So read the wiki about virtualbox

Error: could not start kstartupconfig4?

Fresh install of arch, just installed KDEMOD , when i start kde/kdm i get
"could not start kstartupconfig4, check your installation"
I have made sure I can RW to my home dir.. any help would be MUCH:D appreciated as i want to get up and runing here...

sorry, im just frustrated beyond belif, i hate kde WITH THE PASSION, but everyone is saying to give this kdemod a try..
this is a fresh install of arch, installed kdemod, did not work, so installed kdemod-complete, did not work
kdm fails on boot,
i installed GDM, it works fine, when i start a kde session from GDM it get the error.
"could not start kstartupconfig4, check your installation"
all daemons are loading fine, no errors anywhere else, xserver works fine.. just bloody kde that doesnt work.

ESD does not start at bootup

The situation is this
Untill now I used the system by console and started X when I needed it and esd just before X.
Now I decided to switch to run level 5 so I need to start esd at bootup otherwise it is not able to lock /dev/dsp.
But at bootup it doeas not find /dev/dsp !!! (my sound card is installed and work propelly)
So I gott back to level 3 with esd at boot up, It still not find /dev/dsp but if I login (I am in console mode ) and I manually start it
/etc/rc.d/esd start
everithing get fine.....
Any suggestion?

may be my post was not so clear.
I do not have problem at all in starting in run level 3 or 5 either.
So lets try again
Normally I start my computer in rl 3
When I need to work with X at first I start esd then X, otherwise if the desktop (gnome, kde etc etc.) goes up it lock /dev/dsp and esd is not able to start
I decided to move to RL 5 so I have to start esd at bootup to avoid the above problem.
I put esd in rc.conf but it complain about that /dev/dsp is not present.
So I got back to RL 3 (may it help) but esd still does not start at bootup with the same error.
Suggestion??
P.S. for farphel
I took a look at your post, the correct way to start gdm is to change init tab as follow
# /etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
# 0 Halt
# 1(S) Single-user
# 2 Not used
# 3 Multi-user
# 4 Not used
# 5 X11
# 6 Reboot

Sounds to me like you tried to run a kde tool, most likely systemsettings, with root permissions in a bad way and it ate permissions to your ICEauthority file. Use kdesu or kdesudo to run it next time perhaps.
Try this as root/sudo (it may need two colons on the latter, I always mix em up, but I don't think so):
chmod 600 /home/yourname/.ICEauthority
chown yourname:users /home/yourname/.ICEauthority

I relocated by Centos 5 home directory to an NFS automount, now firefox does not start. What broke?

Fails in both Gnome and KDE. Problem depends on the location of the user home directory. If it is not on the local machine, firefox and thunderbird do not start.

Akonadi server not starting

Installed arch three days ago with full kde installation. Everything was running excellent. Yesterday I ran pacman which updated akonadi with no problems. Ran pacman today which updated a few kde packages and a bunch of python2 packages and systemd. Now the akonadi server will not start which has disabled kmail. System settings indicates the pim indexing service is not running (akonadi). Executing kmail in console states unable to connect to dbus and some mysql errors. Any ideas?

I ended up deleting ~/.config/akonadi and ~/.local/share/akonadi from console and rebooting. Works for me now.

'''(in English)'''

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
