KDE Splash Screen Warning

J

jaymax

FreeBSD <hostname> 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0:

Installed kde
via
Code: 
pkg_add -r kde
several warnings of the type -
Code: 
pkg_add: warning: package 'kdelibs-3.5.10_8' requires 'glib-2.28.8_2', but 'glib-2.28.8_4' is installed
generally caused by previously updated dependency

On launch ==> KDE Splash screen -->

Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code
Click to expand...

firefox installation followed with
Code: 
pkg_add -r firefox

Similar 'warnings' output as for KDE and for the same reasons

firefox's icon or direct launch does absolutely nothing.
Can't figure out if this is a KDE, ConsoleKit or firefox problem, hence can't figure out where to start troubleshooting.

Hope some directives can be provided.
 
Please, check this thread to understand about disturbing warnings.

About ConsoleKit session error, show your /etc/rc.conf
 
Here is the rc.conf file

I mentioned the 'disturbing warnings', because I had similar ones in a prior installation of another program, png - don't remember the version; the installed version was newer than the one required and the installation aborted / exited. The older version was not in the Ports Tree... probably I should have looked in the ftp://ftp.freebsd.... etc location, but I didn't.
 
Remove this entry:
Code: 
local_startup="${local_startup} /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d"

Of course, you have duplicated, I think that with one is enough :e
Code: 
kdm4_enable="YES"

Add in /etc/ttys, if you didn't
Code: 
ttyv8 "/usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
 
There is another box that appears now, not too sure if it did before, I don't think it did.
Code: 
Error - Konqueror <3>
There was an error loading the module
About-Page for Konqueror.
The diagnostic is:
Cannot load library
/usr/local/kde4/lib/kde4/konq_aboutpage.so
(Shared object "libpcre.so.0" not found. 
Required by "libkjs.so.5")

further linking attempts to URL's ==>
diagnostic like above but with
Code: 
/usr/local/kde4/lib/kde4/libkhtmlpart.so

Shared object "libpcre.so.0" not found anywhere on discs
but "/usr/local/lib/libpcre.so" does exist
 
Update devel/pcre port.

Read in/etc/ports/UPDATING:

Code: 
20120214:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/pcre
  AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org

  Until all dependent ports have been updated you should update pcre in
  a manner that will preserve its old shared library. For example:

  # portmaster -w devel/pcre
  or
  # portupgrade devel/pcre

The Tree was updated only yesterday with portsnap, anyway

Don't know if this might be useful, extracted from ConsoleKit's history

Replace the line:
Code: 
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
With this line:
Code: 
ttyv8 "/usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
 
Hope I am not burning you out!

Changes made to /etc/ttys
Now reading
Code: 
ttyv8 "/usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
rebooted
and same ConsoleKit message
 
I think we may have solved the problem

On running
Code: 
:# /usr/local/sbin/console-kit-daemon start
:# Shared object "libpcre.so.0" not found, required by "console-kit-daemon"
No libpcre.so.0 was found on the system, but a "libpcre.so" was found at /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so

I copied this to libpcre.so.0

Code: 
cp /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0
Rebooted

and it seemed to work.

Thanks for all your help
