Many thanks to both of you! @Zachary, I have a Release (I think my difficulties might have something to do with my graphic card). @Peeter, I am very impressed by your effort! No, I did not have the same typo in my rc.conf file.
Earlier, I tried this method you mentioned with the .xinitrc, and it did not even start up. I did the recommended pkg upgrade, and retried - still no results :{ Anyway, many thanks to you both and I am not willing to give it up! Yours, RE Den Tirsdag, 27. mars 2018 10.21 skrev karu.pruun <karu.pr...@gmail.com>: Can you check that the syntax for starting dbus in /etc/rc.conf is correct? It should read dbus_enable="YES" i.e. no 'd' in 'enable'. As a quick test, I installed the current lumina package, lumina-1.4.1,3, created the .xinitrc with a single line exec /usr/local/bin/start-lumina-desktop and used startx --- lumina starts up fine. Can you check if this works for you? If not, can you force update all the packages with sudo pkg upgrade -f and try again?
