Can't start xfce4

grimx · 2014-03-09 01:31:54

I'm ruining Arch 3.13.6-1-Arch 64bit.
I have nvivda-304xx(utils, opencl, libvdpau, libcl) installed.

I can't start Xfce4, using startx or from KDM.
I can run Kde but the windows have no titlebar and Alt-F2 only shows single letters when typing in a program.

In /var/log/kdm.log
kdemain: No DBus session -bus found.

Have you tried

 startxfce4

grimx · 2014-03-09 01:40:12

Yes and it drops me back to the shell. No errors are listed.

M177ER · 2014-03-09 01:44:27

Sorry not sure then.

When trying to enable Desktop Effects in Kde it says Window manager does not seem to be running.

In pacman.log I'm getting
PACMAN installed libgpg-error (1.12-1)
ALPM-SCRIPLET /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 error while loading shared liraries libEGL.so.1

I think you forced through an earlier, problematic update [1]. Don't do that.

The fix should've been pushed through to your friendly neighbourhood mirror by now, so re-run 'pacman -Syu' and try again.

EDIT: The updates don't seem to have filtered down for the 304xx branch yet, hopefully they'll drop soon: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sor … =&flagged=

I have same problem with ATI catalyst driver..This is bug from mesa!

Scimmia · 2014-03-09 04:19:37

No, the catalyst package needs updated.

I have updated it, but X server not start. I tried downgrade mesa package but nothing change

Scimmia · 2014-03-09 04:23:29

I mean the maintainer needs to fix it. This is an unsupported package.

thuanpt.dev · 2014-03-09 04:31:13

Ok.. I understand.. I'm installing opensource driver ATI and wait for update:)

It's in the testing repo, has been for hours now.

Mesa seems to have renamed the shared library libEGL.so.1 into mesa-libEGL.so.1.0.0 which confuses just about everyone involved in launching the x server.

The fix for me was:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mesa-libEGL.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1

If you're using mesa's libgl (i.e you're using open source graphics drivers), you need to install mesa-libgl, which sets up all the necessary symlinks for you.

$ pkgfile -l mesa-libgl | grep libEGL
extra/mesa-libgl	/usr/lib/libEGL.so
extra/mesa-libgl	/usr/lib/libEGL.so.1
extra/mesa-libgl	/usr/lib/libEGL.so.1.0.0
