For XDG_RUNTIME_DIR I can see various suggestions, but apparently systemd expects /run/user/$USER - othere suggest /tmp. I'm not sure that the pulse errors were the problem, but they are all I have found so far. I tried dropping back to runlevel 3 and using startx --wm=kde [ my .xinitrc had that option for kde4, as well as various other wm options ], but I haven't managed to sort out all the details yet, it just drops me into fluxbox which is my fallback. More fun :) ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
