I see X Twm only, not KDE

[jeltoesolnce]

Hello.
I have Nvidia GeForce GT1030. After the update, I stopped seeing KDE. No matter what drivers I installed, I only saw X Twm. I couldn't see KDE. I installed

nvidia-driver{580,470,390},
but the result was the same: three ancient X windows.

I have sometimes had issues with updating nvidia drivers. I also have a GT1030 and use the 580 drivers. Firstly if you have your system on ZFS you might be able to go to a former boot environment that works.

Secondly, you can try first updating your ports tree, I use gitup for that.

gitup ports

Once that's done, I use portmaster to update nvidia-drm-66-kmod-580 and nvidia-drm 66-kmod-580.

For me that has almost always fixed problems. Part of it is that pkgs can get out of sync with kernel.

I would also suggest editing your subject line to put Nvidia in the subject as then more people familiar with Nvidia might offer help.

So X.org works. What does Konsole?
Is there a KDE start command? That should show if something goes wrong.
