I lately try to install KDE4 on OpenBSD 6.5 . Unfortunately that was not quite a success. After starting KDE4, Activity Manager crashed and other apps have troubles starting too. What I did to make KDE4 work… (besides installing kde4 package, of course): * configured to start messagebus (rcctl enable messagebus) * added sysctl tweaks (post install messages from kde-runtime package) * added 'exec kdestart4' to ~user/.xsession Like I wrote… efect is that kde4 starts, but Activity Manager crashes at start. I seen a video on youtube (Setting Up OpenBSD 6.1 with KDE4) where a guy demonstrates how it should be configured, so I got virtual machine with OpenBSD 6.1 on my laptop and it worked! Tweaks pointed above appeared enough to start KDE4. So I got another virtual machine with OpenBSD 6.5 and received the same crashes like on my hardware PC. Lately OpenBSD 6.6 was released so I think I would try it and got also Activity Manager crash. Playing with OpenBSD versions I got to conclusion that KDE4 for versions up to 6.4 works fine. What should I do more? Are any additional tweaks necessary to make things work for version 6.5+ ? I tried few more things… Doubled limits from kde-runtime post-install messages - didn't help. Tried to start via kdm (I used xenodm before). #genkdmconf and then #rcctl stop xenodm #rcctl start kdm KDM seems to not start at all for OpenBSD 6.5+, it writes OK, but doesn't start X and #rcctl ls off |grep kdm gives reply (so it's off). I see that /etc/rc.d/kdm changed in latest versions compared to earlier (ie. 6.1), but I don't feel strong enough to analyze it. ...but maybe it's irrelevant to main issue. File ~$user/.xsession-errors contains a lots of errors, most important (to me) seem (multiple)messages like: *Kded:loadModule: Could not load library "kded_keyboard" . [ "Cannot load library /usr/local/lib/kde4/kded_keyboard.so: (File not found)" ] (altrough file exists) and *kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/$user/.kde4/socket-$hostname/kdeinit4__0) failed: : No such file or directory Could maybe someone more experienced help? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install OpenBSD ver. 6.5+ with kde4 2. tweak kernel limits as per kde-runtime post-install messages 3. start messagebus (rcctl start messagebus) 4. start KDE4 (ie. startkde4 as root) OBSERVED RESULT (on startup) Activity Manager crash KDE Migration Tool crash .xsession-errors (lots of errors logged) EXPECTED RESULT clean start SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS OS: OpenBSD 6.5, 6.6 KDE SC Version: 4.14.10 Qt Version: 4.8.7p19 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I found some other apps crashing (Kinfo) and got some troubles with setting locale 1889490 1 cfeck 2019-11-03 13:19:29 +0000 KDE4 is unmaintained since several years. Please use a recent software distribution.
