[Solved]Start DE after installing plasma5 with display manager

Hello, I was using awesome window manager and I decided to try kde5 on my system. I installed plasma-meta and after that cannot start X or start DE with display manager. Is it somehow related with installing kde5 or is it just a coincidence?

Before installing kde i was using lightdm, after that i installed sddm but could not start kde. Then, I used again lightdm without success. Start x command had not success too.

Which part of it? I am using a different computer to post here so I cannot copy paste here. Also, I am not familiar with log files and where to look to find errors.

There is a line 

Failed to activate core devices

Just found those two threads, 1 and 2. Are they related? How can I check if / is full?

Re: [Solved]Start DE after installing plasma5 with display manager

Okay, I searched the forum a bit, so it must be a full partition problem. This link showed to me how to check it.

df -H

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail     Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2       4G   29M   3.8G      1%        /
dev             1.8G     0  1.8G          0%       /dev
run             1.9G   8.4M  1.8G       1%       /run
tmpfs           1.9G     0  1.9G         0%       /dev/shm
tmpfs           1.9G     0  1.9G         0%       /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1       20G  5G  14GT       27%     /var
/dev/sda6       888G 828G  16G    99%     /data
/dev/sda5       20G  19G  278M     99%     /home
/dev/sda4       9.8G 221M  9G     3%     /tmp
tmpfs           362M     0  362M   0% /run/user/1000

I have erased some things in /home so now I have 78% use but no success.

(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev

check that this file is correctly installed on your system and you have read permissions

Re: [Solved]Start DE after installing plasma5 with display manager

Actually, there is a change. When I type startx KDE started, but It load very slowly and I have graphics card problems. Although, display manager cannot start.

Finally, KDE starts with display manager. So, I will mark it as solved. Thanks
