odd, as again that error is non-fatal
can you post a bit more of the text surrounding that error?
normally, you see:
| Code: |
(EE) AIGLX error: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extension
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
|
which just means hardware acceleration isn't available
out of curiousity, do you have a '/etc/init.d/virtualbox-guest-additions' ?
if so:
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/virtualbox-guest-additions start
rc-update add virtualbox-guest-additions default
|
also, one thing i probably should have mentioned, after creating that 90xsession, you need to run 'env-update'
other than that...if things are still non-functional with startx, id want to peek at the whole Xorg log file. If you 'emerge wgetpaste', you can simply 'wgetpaste /path/to/logfile.log' and share the link with us

There's one problem, I can't seem to copy text from the TErminal. But here's the link: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/480335/

that Xorg log actually looks very spotless.
Which leads me to think X is starting fine, but KDE is not.
try restarting xdm (/etc/init.d/xdm start), and then on KDM make sure your session is set to KDE, try logging in again and see how you go

Should I add xdm to default run level too? Right now I'm compiling ffmpeg, need it for MP3 Support, that and I think I'd type emerge ffmpeg-gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg for the GStreamer file. Amarok doesn't work without the ffmpeg and gstreamer-ffmeg files. This isn't a permanent system of course, but once I Know what I'm doing, I'm more than likely going to switch to it, indefinitely, =). There appears to be something wrong, totally, it's doing same thing as before, starts loading, and then sends me right back to login screen, and there's no KDE in the thing by the way.

Okay, here's another error:
| Code: |
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 63: exec: xterm: not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 59: twm: command not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 60: xclock: command not found

those shouldnt even be loading if KDE is starting up
you can try emerging them (or just 'emerge xorg-x11, which pulls all those in) and doing the usual 'startx'

eventually you will want to do this yes, as that will mean you're presented with the graphical login every reboot.

I'm currently compiling xterm, hopefully this will solve that error, as for those other two? And I already did emerge xorg-x11..

Okay, success on xterm, I can now see 3 X TErminals, but not sure how I get out of these, =/. Just typed exit, and that worked..

Okay, I just re emerged xorg-x11, I think I'm going to call it a night, see if it all works, if it doesn't, back to the drawing board, =(.

so then, X itself is loading at least, and you can move the mouse around and all that?
If so, we can cross X off our list, and figure out how to get KDE working.
if 90xsession is setup, and virtualbox-guest-additions init script is running (and added to default runlevel), make sure xdm is nuked from the default runlevel, and let's just reboot the damn thing (yes, im getting lazy, but that may be faster than trying to figure out how to force some change into effect)
before you do that, though:
| Code: |
echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
startx
|
see how that goes. Thing is, if we can get KDE to try and start via startx, and it dies, we should see a relatively useful error on the console saying *why* it failed to start
NB: i would make sure you login as your regular user to do this test if you aren't doing so already

LOL, oh no, kde is the culprit here's the error:
| Code: |
/home/rick/.xinitrc: line 1: exec: startkde: not found.

I'm awake now, I think it's just KDE and Virtualbox, I have a second hard drive here, maybe later I'll install Gentoo on second drive, and see if VB wasn't the culprit.

equery: No such file or folder
By the way, installed Gentoo on second drive, it installed fine, but I think I put my config_eth0="dhcp" in wrong spot, my ISP connects via dhcp..

equery is part of gentoolkit
you should emerge this; you will definitely want it at some point
I'd also emerge portage-utils while you're at it, as it has some similar and useful tools
what about 'which startkde' and 'rc-status' outptut? Those too, can be piped to wgetpaste, so you dont have to transcribe your screen by hand

do you plan on this machine connecting via dhcp?
It should be noted, /etc/conf.d/net can be left empty if you plan on using dhcp, as an empty /etc/conf.d/net implies dhcp; however, if you want to explicitly state that eth0 should use dhcp, then that would go in /etc/conf.d/net

Yes, I plan on connecting via dhcp, it's what my ISP told me to put it as.

I would presume that means you have this system connected directly to the router or cable modem they provided you with?
if so, then yeah, you'll want dhcp. If it's ADSL, though, dunno, might have to get the pppoe bits working on gentoo - totally foreign territory for me there

Nope, Cable Internet, direct connection through Router, also, by the way, it's working fine on Virtualbox

well, that's definitely going to be a problem
did the "emerge kde-meta" process fail or error out or something? you are definitely missing a ton of stuff i would expect you to have if a kde-meta merge completed successfully
can you:
| Code: |
emerge -pv kdebase-meta |wgetpaste
|
and share the link? You are missing a ton of stuff if you dont even have startkde (which, explains why KDE fails in epic fashion)
| rottingdead wrote: |

perfect. an empty /etc/conf.d/net should do you just fine, as empty settings means "use dhcp"

good lord. yeah it looks like the only thing kde you actually have installed, is kdelibs - definitely not all of kde-meta
first things first:
| Code: |
eselect profile list
|
make sure the desktop/kde profile is selected. You should see something like:
| Code: |
ricker ~ # eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
[1] default/linux/amd64/10.0
[2] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop
[3] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome
[4] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde *
[5] default/linux/amd64/10.0/developer
[6] default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib
[7] default/linux/amd64/10.0/server
[8] hardened/linux/amd64
[9] hardened/linux/amd64/selinux
[10] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib
[11] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux
[12] selinux/2007.0/amd64
[13] selinux/2007.0/amd64/hardened
[14] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64
[15] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/desktop
[16] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/developer
[17] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/hardened
[18] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/server
|
note the asterisk. If not, in my case, i would have to 'eselect profile set 4', then 'env-update && source /etc/profile'
after that, 'emerge kdebase-meta'
and go grab a coffee, going to take a fair bit to finish building. kdebase-meta is somewhat pared down compared to kde-meta (on my system, it means building ~80 packages compared to ~230 packages, and takes 12 hours on the laptop, 2.5 on the beefy desktop)

*Talks* to Gentoo, can I say [solved] yet? =P.
