DE starting

I have installed my intel laptop with everything that I want on it except the LXQT, it fails due to a d-bus issue. I have the videocard installed properly, I have xorg-server, I have xorg, I have xorg-utils, I tried xfce4's startx (didn't work) I tried a DM at boot. And it all comes back to AGAIN, xorg. This system had the same issues 6 months ago if I recall, but I did get xfce4 to install properly back then and got a DE that way. This is on an i686 machine.

EDIT : I also have gnome3 installed on the machine and gdm and it still did not work with gdm.

Re: DE starting

From that, I cannot tell if you are currently trying to run using startx or a display manager.   I would like to see your Xorg logs, but depending on how you tried starting, they will be in different places.   Find the logs in either /var/log/xorg (I am not sure of that last xorg bit, but it is somewhere under /var/log) or it is under ~/.local/share/xorg.  Pick the one with the time stamp that corresponds to your last attempt to run xorg and post it here or to a paste bin site.  (consider using wgetpaste if you want to do that from a command line.)

Re: DE starting

the logs in either /var/log/xorg (I am not sure of that last xorg bit, but it is somewhere under /var/log)

It's just /var/log e.g. /var/log/Xorg.1.log.

@firion90
Is your system up to date?

Re: DE starting

How have you installed LXQt?
