Hello,
I am running the Enlightenment desktop, with Dolphin as my file manager.
Recently my copy/paste progress dialog disappeared. When starting Dolphin from the command line, it complained that kuiserver wasn't running.
I started kuiserver5, and the copy/paste dialog is back... so having kuiserver5 running seems to solve this issue.
But I wonder now, what is the best way to start kuiserver5? Should I write a unit file and start it with systemd? Or simply put it into my login script?

There is a dbus-activated service file for kuiserver5. It should not need to be started manually. If it is not being started, there is likely a problem with your dbus session. How do you start X?

I am using ~/.xinitrc with:
exec enlightenment_start
What is the name of the dbus service? I have dbus.service running. When I check its status, it does not list kuiserver5.

Your ~/.xinitrc is incomplete. Read the xinit wiki page and fix it.
Thanks, I did. But I don't see what I am missing?
Maybe I should add that I have auto-login configured. So in my ~/.bash_profile script, I have:
#
# Auto-login to Enlightenment
#
# This will execute startx, which in turn will execute
# what is defined in ~/.xinitrc
if [[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]]; then
exec startx # do NOT use enlightenment_start here!
fi
I cannot see from the xinit page what I may be doing wrong...
Maybe I should have included the configuration settings in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc in ~/.xinitrc?

So.... I am missing this:
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
?
That would make sense... I guess?

OK, got it now... I should copy the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc, and make appropriate changes to start my desktop manager.
I guess I overlooked the "cp" when I originally set up my desktop environment
Thanks for your help.
