Hello,

I have used Gentoo with KDE plasma 5 for about a month and a half now with no major problems. I recently recompiled the kernel with kvm support and now when I run startx the X server refuses the connection:

Code:

$ startx
xauth:  file /home/jeep/.serverauth.3454 does not exist


X.Org X Server 1.19.3
Release Date: 2017-03-15
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 4.9.16-gentoo x86_64 Gentoo
Current Operating System: Linux VICTORY 4.9.16-gentoo #17 SMP Thu Jul 6 11:42:59 EDT 2017 x86_64
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.9.16-gentoo root=/dev/sda4 ro
Build Date: 03 June 2017  10:58:10PM
 
Current version of pixman: 0.34.0

xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused

I used this guide for the kernel reconfiguration:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU#Kernel

The only deviation I made from the guide is compiling CONFIG_KVM_INTEL directly into the kernel and leaving out CONFIG_KVM_AMD out entirely.

Any help is appreciated and I can provide more information if needed (just not sure what to provide at this point.)

Post your "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" file to see what's wrong.

Maybe you need to recompile X.

EugeneTheJeep,

[ 42.475] (**) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia,/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"

Depending on what kernel options were disturbed, you may need to rebuild all of your out of tree kernel modules.
The nvidia-drivers provides one such module.

Code:
emerge @module-rebuild
does that.

That did it. Before you had posted, i ran
Code:
make modules_install
even though I compiled no new modules, and it got me halfway there: the x server started but only a portion of the desktop was showing up. (no wallpaper or kde panels were visible)

Code:
emerge @module-rebuild
got it done properly.

Thanks so much guys.
