My guess was that it is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/80-dbus that started
dbus on the problem computer but for some reason stopped to do it
after the system update, but of course it may be because of changed
dependency of the OpenRC dependencies.
Anyway, thank you once more for your help!

It would be very peculiar if D-Bus was removed from your runlevels; it's more
probable that a service implicitly starting D-Bus as a dependency via `need` was
changed during your system upgrade. Regardless, since the service was never
starting, the socket file was never being created. X should probably try and
start the D-Bus service when it initialises, either as a part of the Gentoo
patchset, or as a bug to upstream. The BlueZ bluetooth service does this, for
example [1]:
depend() {
after coldplug
need dbus localmount hostname
}
Anyway, glad to see it fixed.

Thank you for your reply and the tips. /run/dbus directory does not exist on the computer where xorg-server does not start, which probably means that it does not run. (At the same time, /run/dbus/system_bus_socket does exit on another my Gentoo box that I last updated 1.5 years ago and that has no problem starting xorg-server. It still has default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop (stable) profile.) Also, I cannot find a link to dbus from any of my /etc/runlevels on my problem computer though such a link exists from /etc/runlevels/default/dbus to /etc/init.d/dbus on my old Gentoo installation. On both my Gentoo installations exist /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/80-dbus file that promises to launch a session dbus instance. When installing my new Gentoo installation, I tried to make it as close to the old one as it was possible, and it is strange to me that the new one does not have a dbus startup in its runlevels. (As far as I remember, in both cases I needed dbus to switch keyboard layout in Awesome, and it did on both systems before the last update.) Probably, my first try should be to add dbus to the default runlevel on my new Gentoo installation. > 2) Please post the full logs of the X server, usually at > `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`. > 3) The output of `emerge --info x11-base/xorg-server` would be nice.

Thank you for the tip and the links. On both my systems (the old and the new one) I do have elogind installed as it is needed for Skype. On the old system, xorg-server still does not have an elogind use flag, while the new one has it and it is set on. > From the relevant ebuild [2]: > > if use systemd || use elogind; then > XORG_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS+=( > "--enable-systemd-logind" > "--disable-install-setuid" > "$(use_enable suid suid-wrapper)" > ) > else > XORG_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS+=( > "--disable-systemd-logind" > "--disable-suid-wrapper" > "$(use_enable suid install-setuid)" > ) > fi > > [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/554 > [2] > https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.20.9.ebuild#n179 > > -- > > Ashley Dixon > suugaku.co.uk > > 2A9A 4117 > DA96 D18A > 8A7B B0D2 > A30E BF25 > F290 A8AA >

Yes, I tried it after a reboot. As to your first question, I will look into logs and report it a bit later.

If so, did you reboot your system after the upgrade? This is unlikely to fix your issue, although there have been some reports (years ago) of the D-Bus socket file not being recreated until rebooting. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Xorg does not start after a recent system update.
After a system update on 18.09.2020 of my Gentoo system, the xorg-server failed to start with the following (last) error message: dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory) Last time I updated my system on 8.08.2020 and everything worked fine. I use startx to start xorg-server and I do not use systemd. I still use the 4.19.86 kernel which is already out of Gentoo tree without masking the newer ones. May it be the reason?
