PostPosted: Tue Jun 25, 2013 11:18 am    Post subject: kdm stopped working Reply with quote

I had just installed my system and got KDE working. When logging in some messages were displayed saying something about dbus. I checked and saw dbus isn't running, so I started it and did a rc-update add dbus default. That's when KDE stopped working. Since then, when I start xdm, X briefly shows a blank screen and the X wait cursor but then crashes. The Xorg log does not show any error, but /var/log/kdm.log shows the following at the end:
Code:
Loading extension GLX

libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

kdmgreet: Fatal IO error: client killed

Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.


dbus is started however.

X still starts with xinit or startx, so X is apparently working happily. So the error about the failure to load the nouveau driver is confusing, especially because KDE worked previously.

I saw many forum messages dealing with the message "No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.", but nowhere did I see a solution.

try "eselect" instead of "select". probably a typo...

No difference.

opengl was already at xorg-x11, but I did:

Code:
jellyfish ~ # eselect opengl list

  [1]   xorg-x11 *
jellyfish ~ # eselect opengl set 1
Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... done

But still the same.

Code:
emerge twm xclock xterm
nano -w /etc/conf.d/xdm
update kdm to xdm
startx


try running kdm in the xterm, and yes that was a typo...

if kdm reports errors in the term post them here

I just did a xinit, and in the xterm I started kdm.

kdm detached and (apparently, from ps) ran, but did not start a session, not on VT7 nor any other console.

There was no error in kdm.log.

If you stop dbus, are you able to start kde again ? (as before) ?

Something seems wrong with opengl/mesa.

Can you show results of the following commands :
    eselect mesa list
    eix media-libs/mesa
    eix x11-apps/mesa-progs


?

Unbelievably, no. I might have done something after it worked, and that something might have caused the mess, but I'm sure it was nothing that should have had this effect. I think it's a bug somewhere in the base KDE stuff.

The command you suggested produced:

Hi,

eselect show you are configured to use "r600" as a video driver.
But mesa seems to be compiled to use "nouveau".

And you are not using mesa last version (9.1.2-r1 instead of 9.1.3 current version for ~).

I woud say something seems wrong with your graphic card setup.

Can you show your "VIDEO_CARDS" setup in your make.conf ? (grep -i video /etc/portage/make.conf)
Is r600 in your video string ? What do you have as graphic card ? And what graphic card driver are you using ?

Check video setup and then would you update to have mesa at the last version ?

Regards,
