Can't start X

[Raquel666]

Hi

after running startx I have error:

Error: cannot create directory "(null)/ksocket-raquel": No such file or directory

After creating simlink:

~/.kde4/socket-localhost pointing to /tmp/ksocket-raquel

i got:

Error: "~/.kde4/socket-localhost" points to /tmp/ksocket-raquel" instead of "(null)/ksocket-raquel"

Please help with this null...

After:

echo $TMPDIR
and
echo $KDETMP

i got empty line

but after

export TMPDIR=/tmp
export KDETMP=/tmp
startx

still the same errors...

Thanks in advantage.

Is it a new installation or this error is in a old Gentoo's installation?

both

If you run emerge world it should have update kde.

[Raquel666]

System is up to date :/

[Maxxx]

Now, do you have kde4 or kde5?

[Raquel666]

kde5

I re-emerged world and after restart system started.
Now in my home directory I have "(null)" folder with "ksocket-raquel" dir.

but now I have another problem:

Any help?
Thx

[Raquel666]

Another question.
Is this "(null)" directory normal?
Do you have it too?

Yes
Use flag "-kde" works. Thx!
