Hello fellas, my system: FreeBSD [xxx] 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009 [email]root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu[/email]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 my problem: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # startx xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.69910 X.Org X Server 1.6.1 Release Date: 2009-4-14 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE i386 Current Operating System: FreeBSD mainserver.serveftp.org 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009 root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Build Date: 21 October 2009 04:11:47AM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Jul 18 15:50:08 2010 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" kcheckrunning: not found kbuildsycoca4 running... startkde: Starting up... /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libthr.so.3: Undefined symbol "__pselect" startkde: Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- at the moment the box has xfce4 on it and I decided to install kde4 (pkg_add -r kde4). all went flawlessly. I added "exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde" to ~/.xinitrc but when I do "startx" I get the message above. The box is a remote one. After the error, startx does not exit and if I use x11vnc I see a black screen with a box that says "Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation" and a "Okay" button. If I click it, "x11vnc" exits but "startx" does not. However, if I run "/usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde" and "x11vnc" with "-auth" option, I can see the kde4 login screen and after it accepts my credentials I see "Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation". If I click "okay", x11vnc exits. [B]I was unable to replicate this behaviour - it happened only once (kde does not run without a X server so I'm presuming I had some X process hanging somewhere)[/B] I've been google-ing for quite some time now and I am unable to find anything relevant. The machine is ~800 km away so direct interaction is impossible. Any ideas are welcomed. PS: nothing relevant in messages.log, all.log and Xorg.log. The video card is a nvidia FX5500. PS2: on a vmware machine, (fresh install of F-BSD 8.0 - kernel+base) I had no problems. PS3: should this go to freebsd-questions by any chance ? or any other mailing list ?
