I did a fresh install of Arch Linux today. I installed minimal kde by doing the following:
# pacman -S kdebase-workspace kdebase-konsole
Obviously, I installed xorg before that.
After pacman finished with kde, I installed alsa, some kde software, and the nvidia drivers. To install the nvidia drivers I did:
# pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utilus
Nvidia-xconfig worked perfectly. I was able to reboot into the kde login screen. When I entered my username and password, a box with this error popped up:
Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session : Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory.
However, the kde splash screen ran and my desktop appeared. I witnessed another error when everything was set. PolicyKit1-KDE closed unexpectedly.
I tried a few things to solve the problem but I don't think I know enough about linux and kde to fix it on my own.
Thank you for reading.

Try starting via 'startx' from the console.

Try to start dbus and hal before starting kde.

I noticed dbus and hal are not in my rc.conf. I have kdm in my rc.conf though.
Should I add dbus and hal?
Offline
yes, you should add at least hal. It checks for dbus and starts it if it is not already done.

I don't get the errors anymore now that I added hal. Thank you for all the help
