Thanks for posting, yzg. I got caught out, but at least your post and link to the Gentoo Bugzilla bug report got me going again. Crazy that x11-apps/xinit was updated in the Stable branch apparently without proper testing and without leaving a previous version in the tree. _________________ Clevo W230SS: amd64, VIDEO_CARDS="intel modesetting nvidia".

[Moderator note: this post, the two immediately following it (jssilva Thu Oct 19, 2017), (The_Great_Sephiroth Thu Oct 19, 2017), and two posts from platojones were posted as a necromancy response to a vaguely similar thread from 2015 ([SOLVED] Lightdm: could not start the Display Manager). I split them from that thread to let the dead rest peacefully, and brought them here to keep everything together. -Hu]
hi. i had exactly the same problem and my gentoo is up-to-date.
could anybody tell me why there are lines in /etc/x11/startDM.sh
EXEC="$(get_options service)"
NAME="$(get_options name)"
PIDFILE="$(get_options pidfile)"
START_STOP_ARGS="$(get_options start_stop_args)"
instead of
EXEC="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options service)"
NAME="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options name)"
PIDFILE="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options pidfile)"
START_STOP_ARGS="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options start_stop_args)"
because as far as i know no update updates ROOTPATH properly

I hope I'm adding some value to this conversation, and not being considered a 'me too'
I had the same problem today, I think after an update but I'm not sure because I changed some things also.
The fact is, the solution posted a few posts before didn't work for me, the path never reached the root environment; I didn't care to investigate the reason.
Instead, as a "band-aid", I just included the full path of get_options in startDM.sh, as referred on the post before mine. It's now working. |

I just updated this morning on a FRESH INSTALL WHICH WORKED, and now I get this error. I have Plasma and SDDM. Worked fine. I synchronized, updated (five or six things when using "avuND @world"), rebooted, and now no desktop. I am about to clone this laptop to eight others. Is there a fix in the works for this? I am apprehensive about doing custom mods because if we need to reinstall at some point (say a disk dies), I may not remember the fix. _________________ Ever picture systemd as what runs "The Borg"? |

[Moderator note: this post was originally a separate thread. As it contains a spot workaround for the issue, I merged it to the other active thread on the subject rather than sending it to Duplicate Threads. -Hu]
Gentoo amd64 stable
After todays (19.Oct.2017) update ( eix-sync and emerge -avuDN @world) , packet x11-apps/xinit has been updated.
Displaymanager (Slim) does not appear.
Solution:
Change in /etc/x11/startDM.sh
from
Code: | EXEC="$(get_options service)"
NAME="$(get_options name)"
PIDFILE="$(get_options pidfile)"
START_STOP_ARGS="$(get_options start_stop_args)"
|
to
Code: | EXEC="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options service)"
NAME="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options name)"
PIDFILE="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options pidfile)"
START_STOP_ARGS="$(/lib/rc/bin/get_options start_stop_args)"
|
Reboot and have fun

Fixed with -r3 (the actual regression did not happen in -r2, but the rebuild triggered by the revbump). |

Yep, showed up on 2 of my machines today. I suspect it came in with a change to the latest openrc:
Code: | Thu Oct 19 07:20:26 2017 >>> sys-apps/openrc-0.33.1 |
