[SOLVED] KDE fails to start (kdeinit4)

Hi everyone,
I installed KDE 4.5 today, and when I start the session, it displays the splash screen but crash and show me the error message
"Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation."
I already looked for information in the wiki and google, and I'm really lost.
Thanks for you help.

I fixed. The solution is to edit /usr/bin/startkde:
LD_BIND_NOW=true /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper +kcminit_startup
if test $? -ne 0; then
# Startup error
echo 'startkde: Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation.' 1>&2
test -n "$ksplash_pid" && kill "$ksplash_pid" 2>/dev/null
xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation$
exit 1
fi
and break the line:
LD_BIND_NOW=true
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper +kcminit_startup
That's all

[solved]Network fails to start sometimes

Hello!
I'm having a problem with my network. Sometimes it fails to start. Usually, a reboot solves this. Here is the error log:

I'd say it's because since the ethernet over firewire module is loaded too, it's counted as a network device too - and which one gets to be eth0 depends if the NIC or ethernet over firewire module is loaded first. There are many solutions to this:
1) If you don't need ethernet over firewire, keep it from being loaded by putting the module name (eth1394 I think) in MOD_BLACKLIST in /etc/rc.conf, like this:
MOD_BLACKLIST=(eth1394)
2) You can make both eth0 and eth1 (and perhaps other NICs too) start up together (I do this with my 2 NICs). To do that, make the rc.conf network section something like this:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
Then you should put a @ in front of "network" ( @network ) in the DAEMONS array unless you like waiting for a NIC that won't start

[SOLVED] SSHD fails to start

Hi to everyone.
his is my 1st post and the second day I have bee playng with arch linux. I installed everythig up to gnome and everything worked just fine. Nevertheless I'm a newbie and I didn't manage to have sshd working. I followed the wiki but it simply fails to start (either at boottime or from commandline)
The error message is:
:: Starting Secure Shell Deamon [FAIL]
What can I do ?
Thanks in advance for any help

I'm not sure why but it works ... and Yes the reason why I was getting "FAILED" when trying to start sshd is because it was already working on port 22.
I didn't realized this earlier because I couldn't connect from another computer and I thought that was the reason while, in fact, was something else ...
(for the sake of knowledge during setup my ethernet card was eth1 and after setup the kernel set it up as eth0 but boot-time scripts didn't complain therefore the sistem booted flawlessy with a eth1 apparently working. Changing in rc.conf from eth1 to eth0 solved the problem)
By the way thanks for the guide and the nmap tip which will cam handy in the future.

[zen@intellitech ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus stop
:: Stopping D-BUS system messagebus [DONE]
[zen@intellitech ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [DONE]

It's odd, because D-BUS will start but hal will not... Anybody have any suggestions?
* UPDATE (10/08/08): Did a full system upgrade and removed dbus from daemons array in rc.conf. UDEV EVENTS Processing speed seems to be back to normal.
** SOLUTION UPDATE: After removing custom ntfs-3g fdi policies from /etc/hal/fdi/policy/, hal seems to load without any problems. This seems to be a bug, since my policies were working at one point, and I believe a hal update caused the problem. I'll see if I can track down the exact hal version that it breaks on, and submit a respective bug report for it.
** OFF-TOPIC UPDATE: Using hwdetect --modules to get a modules list, and using these modules in rc.conf with MOD_AUTOLOAD turned off (and also in mkinitcpio.conf and running mkinitcpio -g <path>), seems to have dramatically increased my "Load udev events" processing time. After doing this, my udev speed went from almost 4000ms to literally < 500ms.

you have dbus starting before hal but hal starts debus by default so please try this...
DAEMONS=(...@acpid @hal @alsa...)
and delete debus from that line.
Removed dbus from the daemons array and hal still won't start. Also, I noticed that the "Loading udev events" portion of the boot process seems to take a lot longer than it used to. Last boot, it took about 19130ms, whereas it used to take < 3000ms. Could these be related?
Also, I ran a full system upgrade, both udev and hal were upgraded.

[Solved]KDE fails to load

I just ran an update a few minutes ago, involving a bunch of kde-related stuff. After the update I noticed I couldn't open kwrite (via the menu), so I tried alt+f2 to open the klauncher. That didn't open either, so I hit reboot (on the menu). Instead of showing the usual reboot dialog, with different options, the screen just went black. So I hit the power button, and booted back up, but starting KDE failed and I was dumped into a terminal. I'm posting this in Firefox running under an X session. Not a ton I can do with that.
I noticed that while shutting down, I get a message seemingly about fam not being found in /etc/rc.d. Could this be the problem? Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks.
Edit: I looked in /etc/rc.d, and fam is most definitely not there. Although now I think of it, I was unable to find and start fam when I first installed kdemod4 and Arch a while ago, so I don't think the missing fam is the problem... installed it via pacman, though, and it starts fine, however I can't start hal now. KDE still won't start, using XFCE for now.
Update: Ended up reinstalling, works fine now.

Hi,
I have sort of the same problem myself as I did a fresh install of Arch yesterday and went with KDE. I remember not even having a fam daemon so I had to pacman it, even after getting it I used the whole:
/etc/rc.d/fam start
/etc/rc.d/hal start
And while that sort of worked I remember getting some missing message beforehand.
Basically, I am able to get into KDE using:
sudo /etc/rc.d/kdm start
Hope that helps, not sure if its a long term solution or not, I'm very new to Arch/Linux, I don't really like KDE anyways, so I might switch to Gnome but best of luck.

[SOLVED] X failed to start, then cannot login in tty

Recently I changed the X's monitor setting at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf. Seems that there is a wrong setting, and the X failed to start. So when booting, it says: INIT: Id 'x' respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes. So I changed to tty2 (alt-F2) and input my usual username and password, but checkpassword always says that my password is wrong.
So which username and password should I use? Or how to login to my computer?
The login manager is SLiM, DE is openbox + tint2, tty is fgetty (not agetty).

I guess the system should automatically goes to runlevel 3 (or other runlevel) in case runlevel 5 goes error or something. But it doesn't (Or I'm wrong?).
Well, in case you couldn't even as root, I had supposed you'd boot with your Arch live cd anyway, chroot properly into your system then, and edit /etc/inittab to runlevel 3. You'd probably be able to login afterwards and do startx from console, see what happens and check the log for errors.
When booting form cd you can cat it e.g. in /mnt/var/log/Xorg.0.log after mounting btw. -- Maybe there's an alternative way to edit the command line at boot as well, haven't looked for that yet. If there is, you might put that option into the bootloader's config of Arch's fallback kernel installation, so you could choose at startup.
At least to my knowledge once you configured your system to boot graphically (say, runlevel 5), there's no "fallback mode" into rl3. But what you can also do is to make your display manager able to alternatively get you into console (if possible; I know that's the case for cdm).
However, if you think your problem is now fixed, you should edit the header of your first post and add [SOLVED].

[SOLVED]apache failes to start

Hi folks,
As of a few moments ago my server failes to start apache
systemctl status httpd gives me following error

I am not really sure what to make out of this error
Last edited by odp (2014-03-31 14:55:13)

I realize it has to do with the httpd.conf structure has changed thus there is a generated httpd.conf.pacnew file using this works fine. So forget about the old question. The new question is, how can I merge the two files?

KDE Fails To Start / Defaults To tty1 Login [SOLVED]

Over the summer I put myself on a Linux crash course by installing Arch Linux on my HP 3105m. It went without a hitch. A month Later, I reinstalled to try out KDE, and with a little work, I got it up and running. I liked that setup so much that I have been attempting to install Arch onto my Desktop for a week now, but I can't get past the terminal. The screen flashes the terminal login screen, goes black as if X11 is starting, then returns to the terminal login. I have been scraping the forums pretty hard, and have reinstalled Arch about six times in the process. I can run
startx
and start applications from xterm, which is kind of cool, but not ideal.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the forum threads I have already read:

KDE fails to start after logout

Hi
This sometimes happen after I turn the computer on, but everytime after I do a logout, I can't login again in KDE. With LXQT I can login normally.
This is the .xsession-errors output:

Thanks for the help.

Are you using a display manager, and if so which one ?
please post the content of your ~/.xinitrc & ~/.xsession files.

[SOLVED] KDE won't start after Xorg update(nvidia driver)

After update, I disabled hotplug, with :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
kdm starts normally, i can write login/password, i see kde boot splash, then desktop shows and after about 10 secs it is killed and goes back to login screen.
I think the problem is with hal, because (Xorg.0.log):
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Video Bus
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Video Bus
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed

Also (.xsession-errors)

Well, I rebuilded my xorg.conf with
Xorg -configure
and it started working, even with evdev driver, just had to add
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
in section "ServerFlags". I'm not really sure what caused that error.

[SOLVED] Amarok fails to start / crashes while starting

Hello,
Amarok on my primary Arch x86_64 machine just started to fail staring. It probably is not caused by some upgrade, as downgrading related recently upgraded packages (mysql, phonon) didn't help. Removing of /.kde4/share/apps/amarok* and /.kde4/share/config/amarok* stuff didn't help either. I tried to log in with clear .kde4, which seemed to help, but as I had everything configurend and done some reboots, the problem appeared again. When I run amarok, splashscreen shows up, then the window pops up and disappears. No crash report from drkonqui is displayed though.
This is what I get, when running it from konsole:

run on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
I am stuck on figuring out what happens here. Did anybody else have this issue?

[SOLVED] KDE won't start

I've just installed Arch... again. I decided to go for KDE this time. I installed kde-meta-kdebase, have graphics drivers (xf86-video-intel) and everything. When I've try to run it by startx ("exec startkde" in my .xinitrc, copied from /etc/skel - everything done like always), the process ends after short blink of the screen. No error output now but before reboot it prompted "startkde: no such file or directory" - now no error message but it won't run anyway... there is /usr/lib/kde on my system but when I go
# systemctl enable kdm.service
- again: no such file or directory... it's like it's not installed the right way but pacman sees it. It was the same yesterday and I thought I just forgot about something so today I went step-by-step with Beginner's Guide... and still nothing. Only thing that is different from the usual system is zsh. Test xorg DE starts fine.

I had kde-meta-kdebase installed but now I see that
sms-linux% sudo pacman -S kdebase
[sudo] password for root:
:: There are 11 members in group kdebase:
:: Repository extra
1) kde-wallpapers 2) kdebase-dolphin 3) kdebase-kdepasswd
4) kdebase-kdialog 5) kdebase-keditbookmarks 6) kdebase-kfind
7) kdebase-konq-plugins 8) kdebase-konqueror 9) kdebase-konsole
10) kdebase-kwrite 11) kdebase-plasma
Enter a selection (default=all):
it's not there by default. Is it a mistake by packager that it wasn't pulled by any of the packages and it's not listed there too? "Minimal install" section of Arch Wiki article about KDE is now invalid and it wasn't like that before... I just went here to type that "I don't know why but after installing some other kde packages, the problem dissapeared" - now I know why, thanks! :-)

[SOLVED] KDE will not start, not sure if I set it up correctly

I installed ArchLinux today and I've been looking through the Wiki to get things setup.
In the Desktop Enviornment page it says to install the Xorg server first before installing an enviornment, so I installed xorg-server with: pacman -S xorg-server
I edited /etc/rc.conf to include 'dbus' in the Daemon array
I installed KDE with: pacman -S kde
I edited /etc/inittab to comment out:
#id:3:initdefault:
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
and uncomment:
id:5:initdefault:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
as it said to on the KDE page.
Then I restarted and used 'root' as login and all I saw was the terminal.
I'm not sure if I missed anything (I read through the KDE, Desktop Environment, Xorg, and DisplayManager pages) or if I just did something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

First, you shouldn't try to login to X as root. Login as your user.
Also, I'd suggest following the beginners guide through testing TWM to make sure you've installed X correctly before you try to get KDE running.
After you've made it through those two steps (or if either fails), come back with the error messages or output you get in the attempt.
