Problem with KDE

N

nexy_sm

Hello,

i am not so familiar with the Unix systems, I installed FreeBSD 8.0 with vmware workstation. During installation I also included packages for KDE. Now I am trying to start KDE but it wont. I have been reading forums and all kind of instructions but nothing. The first problem is that I dont have folder /usr/ports/. I have found somewhere folder kde4 and also folde X11P(something like that). When I type startx it sayd that it is not command.

thank you
 
Ok thank you, but i have read those articles many times and I still don't understand what should i do. Please look at the picture. i dont have ports folder, I have obviously installed package, but what now?

You're missing xorg.

Code: 
[od@meh ~]$ pkg_info -W `which startx`
/usr/local/bin/startx was installed by package xinit-1.1.1_1

[od@meh ~]$ pkg_info -R xinit-1.1.1_1
Information for xinit-1.1.1_1:

Required by:
xorg-7.4_4
xorg-apps-7.4_2
 
use this command and see what you have:

%pkg_info | grep xorg

Code: 
xorg-7.4_4          X.Org complete distribution metaport
xorg-apps-7.4_2     X.org apps meta-port
xorg-docs-1.4,1     X.org documentation files
xorg-drivers-7.4_3  X.org drivers meta-port
xorg-fonts-100dpi-7.4 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-7.4      X.org fonts meta-port
xorg-fonts-75dpi-7.4 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-cyrillic-7.4 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-7.4 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-truetype-7.4 X.Org TrueType fonts
xorg-fonts-type1-7.4 X.Org Type1 fonts

Hal and dbus need to be running.
 
you will need these 4 lines in /etc/rc.conf to boot into Kde desktop:

Code: 
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
local_startup="${local_startup} /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d"
kdm4_enable="YES"
