Solved Unable to launch Lumina on fresh FreeBSD 11

F

forquare

Afternoon all,

I've got a Lenovo T440 that was running FreeBSD-CURRENT over the past year or so. While I mostly ran Xfce on it when Lumina 1.0 was ready I gave it a spin for a couple of days before heading back to Xfce.

When FreeBSD 11 was released I decided to reinstall the laptop, do UEFI boot, encrypted boot/swap, etc. So I've got a fresh install. I've installed Lumina via pkg(8), installed and started dbus (suggested in Thread 56195). When I try to start Lumina, I get:
Code: 
QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath: Please instantiate the QApplication object first

I'm not sure why this isn't working...I've installed the Xfce packages and that works fine, but I'd like to give Lumina another go.

Anyone know what I can do to troubleshoot/solve this?

I know the point is 11-RELEASE... but, in case it help someway:

I had a strange crash after start lumina. I had no ideia of the cause, but I found a workaround.

Just after the last splash screen says lumina was loaded, it crashes. I soon discovered that if my ethernet was down, then I could launch the desktop. Then I realized that the default desktop plugin named RSS Feeds had something to do, it crashed after sync on internet. I remove it. And no more crashes now.

I'm running 10.2-RELEASE 32 bit. the problem happened with lumina 1.0 from ports, and with other commits after that.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to get resolved by downing my Ethernet or/and WiFi...
 
forquare , I'm sorry it did not worked.

What about TrueOS forums? A second choice is the author's github issues. Since they follow us, maybe they can help you. If so, share the solution with us later :D

Cheers.
 
Turns out that Lumina 1.1.0 solves the issue. No idea what caused it, I'm afraid, but I did and update and everything now works.

I am also having the same problem.
I have installed Lumina with
pkg install lumina

And version is installed this way.
If version 1.1, fixes the issue then, how to install Lumina 1.1 ? because pkg install lumina installs version 1

Are you using the quarterly or latest pkg repo? I'm using latest and was able to update to Lumina 1.1 using that.

Solved.
I was actually executing start-lumina-desktop from FreeBSD Shell.
and I was getting this error:

QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath: Please instantiate the QApplication object first

It was probably because, X was not started yet.

I then, created the .xinitrc file, and executed startx. Lumina started successfully in this case.
 
Just a note that the newer version of start-lumina-desktop will now automatically start an X11 session for you as needed.
 
I had been struggling to get xfce4 working on FreeBSD 11 ( I did have it working on 10.3...) but after reading this thread I thought I'd try Lumina, and that installed with no problem, so I guess I'll stick with it.
 
Unfortunately, I can't get either Xfce or Lumina working under 11.0-RELEASE on a ThinkPad X220.

What do you put in .xinitrc?

I have the latest version of Lumina.
