I've won my latest round of the battle to install KDE4. But I can't log out. I can click Kmenu->Leave->End Session but this does absolutely nothing.

I see this is /var/log/messages
Mar 6 04:41:58 blackbox console-kit-daemon[1465]: WARNING: kvm_getenvv failed: cannot open /proc/1591/mem

Suggestions?

Some KDE features requires procfs. Do you have procfs mounted?
$ tail -1 /etc/fstab
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0

Tried that, no change. Thanks for input though

You don't use kdm to log in, do you? In that case, is it acceptable for you to switch to it?

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not so sure if KDM is included in x11/kdebase4 (http://www.freshports.org/x11/kdebase4/) or in the big x11/kde4 (http://www.freshports.org/x11/kde4/) ?

It's in kdebase-workspace, so you have it. There are a couple of reasons to start kde with it, Like policies management and correct interaction with hal.

Thank you. Seems like that kdebase-workspace is not a dependency of kdebase, so I might install the large kde4 as well.:PP

Sorry, I didn't know there was actually someone using ONLY kdebase without kdebase-workspace (which is not large).

Yes, I am using KDM.

It fixed itself! Well, I'm sure I accidentally did something to make it work, but I can't see what. Maybe I upgraded dbus while upgrading other ports...

Cheers.

Good. You can mark this as solved, then.
