Bug ID: 413742
Summary: application crash on KDE startup (OpenBSD)
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: OpenBSD Packages
OS: OpenBSD
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Hello!
I lately try to install KDE4 on OpenBSD 6.5 .
Unfortunately that was not quite a success.
After starting KDE4, Activity Manager crashed and other apps have troubles
starting too.
What I did to make KDE4 work… (besides installing kde4 package, of course):
* configured to start messagebus (rcctl enable messagebus)
* added sysctl tweaks (post install messages from kde-runtime package)
* added 'exec kdestart4' to ~user/.xsession
Like I wrote… efect is that kde4 starts, but Activity Manager crashes at start.
I seen a video on youtube (Setting Up OpenBSD 6.1 with KDE4) where a guy
demonstrates how it should be configured, so I got virtual machine with OpenBSD
6.1 on my laptop and it worked! Tweaks pointed above appeared enough to start
KDE4.
So I got another virtual machine with OpenBSD 6.5 and received the same crashes
like on my hardware PC.
Lately OpenBSD 6.6 was released so I think I would try it and got also Activity
Manager crash.
Playing with OpenBSD versions I got to conclusion that KDE4 for versions up to
6.4 works fine.
What should I do more? Are any additional tweaks necessary to make things work
for version 6.5+ ?
I tried few more things…
Doubled limits from kde-runtime post-install messages - didn't help.
Tried to start via kdm (I used xenodm before).
#genkdmconf
and then
#rcctl stop xenodm
#rcctl start kdm
KDM seems to not start at all for OpenBSD 6.5+, it writes OK, but doesn't start
X and
#rcctl ls off |grep kdm
gives reply (so it's off).
I see that /etc/rc.d/kdm changed in latest versions compared to earlier (ie.
6.1), but I don't feel strong enough to analyze it.
...but maybe it's irrelevant to main issue.
File ~$user/.xsession-errors contains a lots of errors, most important (to me)
seem (multiple)messages like:
*Kded:loadModule: Could not load library "kded_keyboard" . [ "Cannot load
library /usr/local/lib/kde4/kded_keyboard.so: (File not found)" ]
(altrough file exists)
and
*kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning:
connect(/home/$user/.kde4/socket-$hostname/kdeinit4__0) failed: : No such file
or directory
Could maybe someone more experienced help?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install OpenBSD ver. 6.5+ with kde4
2. tweak kernel limits as per kde-runtime post-install messages
3. start messagebus (rcctl start messagebus)
4. start KDE4 (ie. startkde4 as root)
OBSERVED RESULT
(on startup)
Activity Manager crash
KDE Migration Tool crash
.xsession-errors (lots of errors logged)
EXPECTED RESULT
clean start
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: OpenBSD 6.5, 6.6
KDE SC Version: 4.14.10
Qt Version: 4.8.7p19
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I found some other apps crashing (Kinfo) and got some troubles with setting
locale
