After installing xorg I installed KDE 4.12.3_1 In rc.conf I added, as was suggested after install was complete, this line: kdm4_enable="YES"
Now login shows kdm but I get this error: Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/syste(unreadable here because the window goes past the monitors' edge) I press OK and get another message: Can you call qdbus? I press okay and am back at the kdm login - this loops in other words. Then I spent hours trying to find similar errors in divers fora. I ended up succesfully logging in to fail safe mode now, but if I want to take out the kdm-line from rc.conf I don't have permission. su root simply says "sorry" and in vi :wq! doesn't do it either. This looks like worth a try: Logging into an alternate DE, running *sudo chown -R username .dbus* and then rebooting (don't just logout, that consistently locked my machine up) should fix the problem. (taken from http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=19353) but sudo is a command not found where I am now (fail safe mode). Another suggestion is to install some Qt packages https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4319 but again I guess I need to be root for that. KDE-forum talks about Qt also but the solution this user took is a drastic reinstall http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=99228 Has anyone had this happen too?
