 Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2025 6:10 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Can't run Plasma on a new install |
 |
|
I am on a fresh install with desktop OpenRC stage3 and desktop/plasma profile. Following https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE, I have tried to set up Plasma, but unsuccessfully:
running | Code: | | dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland |
yields | Code: | org.kde.startup: not a reply org.freedesktop.locale1 QDBusMessage(type=Error, service="", error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected", error message="Not connected to a D-Bus server", signature="", contents=() )
QIODevice::write (QFile, "/home/kuba/.config/kdedefaults/package"): device not open
dbus-daemon[4807]: [session uid=1000 pid=4807 pidfd=5] Activating service name='org.kde.KSplash' requested by ':1.0' (uid=1000 pid=4808 comm="startplasma-wayland")
Could not create wayland socket
org.kde.plasma.waitforname: WaitForName: Service was not registered within timeout
dbus-daemon[4807]: [session uid=1000 pid=4807 pidfd=5] Activating service 'org.kde.KSplash' failed: Process org.kde.KSplash exited with status 1 |
.
Trying | Code: | | dbus-launch --exit-with-session startplasma-x11 |
results in | Code: | | $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server. |
I'm not sure what to do now, so thanks in advance.

Have you added "elogind" service to runlevel boot ? ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind#Service )
Have you set VIDEO_CARDS before emerging xorg-server ? ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base#VIDEO_CARDS )
If both yes, was there a problem in one of these steps (from my installation) ? ->
| Code: | # check if using a PLASMA-profile:
# eselect profile list
# eselect profile set X
# emerge -vD xorg-server
# next is only necessary for non us-/en-keyboards
# cd /etc/X11
# mkdir xorg.conf.d
# cd xorg.conf.d
# cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf .
# nano -w 40-libinput.conf
! Add to keyboard section => Option "xkb_layout" "de"
# emerge -vD plasma-meta kdecore-meta
# nano -w /etc/conf.d/display-manager
! Change => DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm"
# rc-update add elogind boot
# rc-update add display-manager default |

I have not added "elogind" service to runlevel boot . Now that it is set, it works great! Thank you very much! |
