[SOLVED] BLFS 12.0 Xorg no longer working after trying to install KDE Plasma 5

deblokc · 01-19-2024, 10:59 AM

Hi,
I have setup LFS 12.0 on a vbox and was trying to install Plasma following the instructions of the book. First step was to install Xorg, which was working (

Code:

startx

gave me the described result)

Then i installed both KF5 (5.109) & Plasma (5.27.7), and sddm (0.20.0) for the display manager. When i tried to login, i was greeted with the following error :

Quote:

Application: ksplashqml (ksplashqml), signal: Segmentation fault

[KCrash Handler]
#4 0x00007f368d0e30b7 in QObject::setProperty(char const*, QVariant const&) () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5

#10 0x000055d2e66487ba in ?? ()

A little bit of googling suggested that i should try to reinstall Plasma and KDE.

After doing so and trying again i now only have a black screen. I tried to run startx to make sure it was still working, and now it doesn't. It freeze and i'm forced to kill it from a ssh shell.

Here is the log file :

So, after some try and error i managed to fix Xorg by simply switching the VirtualBox graphical controller from VMSVGA to VBoxVGA (with the necessary module in kernel of course)

startx is now behaving as expected, but plasma is still crashing with kplashqml and krunner...

I don't know if i should ask support for it in this thread or mark it as resolved and create a new one.
Please let me know.

deblokc · 01-22-2024, 02:28 PM

I finally fixed my issue. The problem was that for an unkown reason some packages got installed in the wrong place.

If anybody has the same issue, with kslashqml and krunner crashing because org.kde.plasma.core is not installed despite you having followed the book, make sure it is installed in qt's folder (in my case /opt/qt5/qml) and not in /usr/lib.
