[solved] startX does not want to boot LXDE

[atlanticat]

When I type startX I get the following output

Current version of pixman: 0.40.0

xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server teminated successfully (0) Closing log file.

SOLUTION:
Add VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965 iris" to /etc/portage/make.conf
emerge -lav mesa
emerge cfg-update
emerge --autounmask=y --autounmask-write lxde-base/lxde-meta
cfg-update -u (1,1,1,1)
emerge --autounmask=y --autounmask-write lxde-base/lxsession
echo "exec startlxde" >> ~/.xinitrc
startx

this will be able to get you to a lxde session

Hi

Code: Select all

xinit: Unable to run program "/usr/bin/startlxde": No such file or directory

Have you emerged lxde-meta ?

atlanticat,

Code: Select all

MESA-LOADER: failed to open iris: /usr/lib64/dri/iris_dri.so: cannot open shared object file

See LibGl fails to load iris

Fix that first.

After I put in the fixes for viewtopic-t-1150049.html I get the error message

Even when I put in startlxde it says
~bash: startlxde: command not found.

When I enter emerge -p lxde-base/lxdm it says

Plz

Code: Select all

###Make sure you have VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965 iris" in make.conf then
emerge -1av mesa
emerge -av lxde-meta

Probably you are missing

Code: Select all

lxde-base/lxsession

Also kindly try to use

Code: Select all

 tags when appropriate.

It is now giving me 

!!!All ebuilds that could satisfy "lxde-meta" have been masked. 
!!!One of the following masked packages is requried to complete your request: -lxde-base/lxde-meta-0.5.5-r7::gentoo (masked by: ~amd64 keyword )

even after putting lxde-base/lxde-meta-0.5.5-r7 ~amd64 into vim /etc/portage/package.license
it still gives me the error.

A solution that worked was

Code: Select all

emerge --autounmask=y --autounmask-write lxde-base/lxde-meta
cfg-update -u

now I can get lxde-base/lxde-meta as well as lxde-base/lxsession installed.

The latter is automatically installed when the former is emerged.
In fact you should run

Code: Select all

emerge --deselect lxsession
