I know it's not very helpful to write "works for me", but using startx with .xinitrc as in the book, I get a working KDE (well just tested the menus and Konsole). ISTR that we dropped sddm from the book because it was not playing well with DEs in /opt. You have Gnome in /usr, haven't you? Note that I am unable to open a plasma session, either from lxdm or from lightdm, with the configuration in the SVN book. But I do not get a blank screen, it just returns to the greeter. We might have to look at that... Pierre -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
