Xfce won't start after world update. [SOLVED]

[stu_rat]

During a recent world update, some Xfce packages were upgraded. My desktop will now not start. I usually start it using the 'startx' command at the console. I now get dumped back to the console with this message:

"/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 63: exec: xterm: not found"

This is my /etc/env.d/90xsession file:

~ $ cat /etc/env.d/90xsession
XSESSION=Xfce4

~ $

I've also tried to start the desktop with .xinitrc in my home folder with the following in it:

exec startxfce4
# exec startlxde

I get this error:

".xinitrc: line1: exec: startxfce4: not found"

If I change .xinitrc to use LXDE, the latter desktop starts successfully. Where should I look next to investigate this problem?

Thanks.

Are you sure that you have installed xterm? Or try write full path. Same for "startxfce4"

stu_rat,

Check if startxfce4 is in your path with

[ssuominen]

Are you using testing, as in, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" system?

emerge gentoolkit
revdep-rebuild

Are you using Portage 2.2?

emerge @preserved-rebuild

Is everything installed?

emerge -v xfce4-meta

Your problems arise because something tries to pull in xfce-base/libxfce4ui-4.9.2 which is on ~arch still. You should stick to xfce-base/libxfce4ui-4.8.1. Check your /etc/portage/package.keywords and related that could cause this pull.

My suggestion — unmask all xfce-base/* packages by the keyword and install the last xfce 4.10. But firstly delete the libxfce4ui that isn't a part of the Xfce 4.10.
