KDE wont start after install

[MikeG1]

Having some troubles with KDE install again

Just did:

emerge kdebase-meta:4.4

Install went without any problems and I updated all config files!

When typing startx, i get the following error:

Code: Select all

hostname: Unknown host
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.14447

/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 1: /usr/bin/X: No such file or directory
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 1: exec: /usr/bin/X: cannot execute: No such file or directory giving up.

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

here is some more info about my system:

emerge --info

Execute the following as root:

Code: Select all

echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc

Does that help?

Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. Does the mentioned file exist?

No, the file doesn't exist

/usr/bin/X belongs to x11-base/xorg-server, so you should (re)install that package.

/usr/bin/X belongs to x11-base/xorg-server, so you should (re)install that package.

Ooops, haven't seen that one
Actually, install the 'xorg-x11' package (if you haven't already) rather than only xorg-server, so you get all the extra goodies and fonts.

OK THX
The xorg-server wasn't installed.
I assumed that KDE installs everything needed for a window system.
I guess I was wrong

Right now I'm configuring xorg according to: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml


On a more general note:
Do I have everything needed for a gentoo Desktop system?
That includes:
- fresh gentoo system
- xorg-system installed
- kde installed
??


THX!
