Xorg not working with plasma and sddm

hiracat · 2023-09-02 20:27:40

I have xorg installed but when trying to login to a plasma xorg session with sddm it just kicks me out, I tried disabling sddm and then running $ startx from the tty and it works but outputs this

Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

His is xinitrc configured? What did it try to start that was missing or just exited?

this is my xinitrc in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
I dont know what you mean by "what did it try to start that was missing or just excited", i installed the xorg group in order to hopefully fix this so i should not be missing anything but it did not work

seth · 2023-09-02 20:59:29

It tries to run twm and some xterm - likely neither and esp. not the latter are installed so the script just runs through and the server terminates immediately w/it.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#From_the_console

Edit: or almost
You've xterm but it seems to fail?

Nevertheless, replace the entire xterm/twm block w/

export DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma
exec startplasma-x11

nb. that nothing after the first "exec" line will be executed.

None of xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm are in the xorg group.

seth · 2023-09-02 21:09:00

He has xterm installed, but I'm not even sure anymore whether xterm failed or he terminated the server (somehow) - it's running for ~7 seconds.

@hiracat, if you just get a couple of white windows from startx, hover one w/ the mouse and enter "startplasma-x11"
Otherwise please detail on the events that lead to the output and the log (what did you see/do)

hiracat · 2023-09-02 21:15:34

i made this .xinitrc and put in my home directory

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi
export DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma 
exec startplasma-x11

when trying to boot from the tty it just goes to a black screen and when using sddm it just kicks me out

seth · 2023-09-02 21:19:48

If we ignore plasma for the moment, what was the behavior when you ran an xterm as session process?

Ideally also post the system journal after a kde session has failed

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

hiracat · 2023-09-02 21:31:38

If you mean running xterm in plasma then it works fine and if you mean running xterm running by default with the default config of x11 then it works fine and when trying to launch startx from the tty the screen goes black and i cant even open the tty by pressing ctrl+alt+f5

seth · 2023-09-02 21:41:59

running xterm running by default with the default config of x11 then it works fine

and

when trying to launch startx from the tty the screen goes black

cannot be true at the same time.

When using the xinitrc from #3 and running "startx", what does happen?

Just to be sure: there isn't a parallel plasma/wayland session running, is there?
And you also stopped SDDM before running "startx", you're not just switching to another tty while SDDM is still running, are you?

Boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below) and run startx from there.

hiracat · 2023-09-02 22:00:48

So when i run startx without an xinitrc in my home directory it opens a few xterm windows and the clock
when i have this one in my home directory,

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi
export DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma 
exec startplasma-x11

It either open firefox if i did not close it or just the mouse cursor shows up but plasma it not working
The way i run startx is by disabling sddm and then rebooting.

Just now i booted into the tty because i did not know that i all i needed to do was stop sddm but i did know that i needed to reboot but anyway what happeded was this, i ran startx the first time and it failed with this output

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

then i ran startx again and it sort of worked, the mouse cursor showed up but i could not do anything

Splendid.
In doubt, "pkill twm" and then run "DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma startplasma-x11" from one of the xterms. Watch out for errors it produces.
"DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma startplasma-x11 > /tmp/plasma.errors 2>&1" would redirect all output into /tmp/plasma.errors

Wrt your other thread, you can also try to launch obsidian in the twm session.

hiracat · 2023-09-02 22:29:53

this is the output of launching plasma on x11

plasma never finished launching, it runs all of the apps that i did not close before rebooting but then it breaks
the obsidian things is probably a bug in electron so ill just wait it out as it works fine on xorg, i ran it from xterm and it works fine

You probably somewhere globally and unconditionally export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ?
