However the impact was just that I couldn't hear any sound; KDE still started and ran well (but quietly). Depending on what sound card you have, it is likely that you will want to add the following to /boot/loader.conf: snd_pcm_enable="YES" That's assuming that you don't have it compiled into the kernel (it isn't by default). However, while that should fix the error message when KDE loads, it probably won't resolve whatever is causing KDE to stall. Still, you have to take things one at a time. -- Danny MacMillan
