 |

[Solved]
Hello,
I can not get my kde desktop to work after updating to kde-plasma/*-5.17.4. I have been having this issue before but I thought that is was because I was not getting all the packages for that version to all install properly.
After rebooting my system I am getting this error after running startx:
| Code: | The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning: Unsupported high keycodes 372 for name <I372> ignored
> X11 cannot support keycodes above 255.
> This warning only shows for the first high keycode.
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
Couldn't exec startkde: No such file or directory
xinit: connection to X sever lost |
I have this in my .xinitrc file:
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startkde |
Which had been working fine before I upgraded.
I really would appreciate the help.
Thank you

The keyboard stuff is harmless and can be ignored, it's just antiquated design at work.
I don't use kde but the real error is that it's not finding strartkde, but if that's really your current .xinitrc and it's being used I guess it's not a typo? (which one is wrong? did you type the error message by hand?) Do make sure the file exist though, if something changed someone who use KDE will probably know better :)
Edit: I see you edited back the strartkde typo, well I hope that wasn't actually the problem |

| As I said, I don't use it but shouldn't it be startplasma-x11? See this wiki entry |

The thing is, that it wasn't giving me this error with the previous version.
Which now that I am looking, there is only one version. So I do not know that I can roll back.
I also can not find any "startkde" package in the repos. |

Awesome!!!
That is what I had wrong. I didn't know that they had changed the commands for the new plasma version.
Thank you very much for your help. |

| Glad to hear. My best guess is that startkde was being offered for compatibility but wasn't the proper way to start it, must've gotten rid of it. |
