https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208397 Bug ID: 208397 Summary: FreeBSD Handbook x11-wm Section 5.7 - KDE needs dbus , hald enabled Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: papowell@astart.com FreeBSD Handbook 5.7. Desktop Environments (As of 30 Mar 2016) Section 5.7.1. GNOME describes how to add proc, dbus_enable: GNOME requires /proc to be mounted. Add this line to /etc/fstab to mount this file system automatically during system startup: proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 GNOME uses D-Bus and HAL for a message bus and hardware abstraction. These applications are automatically installed as dependencies of GNOME. Enable them in /etc/rc.conf so they will be started when the system boots: dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" I think that KDE requires this as well as it uses part of the GNOME Libary. I believe it was present in earlier versions but not in the current one. If you start KDE but do not have dbus enabled it exits with an error message. The KDE port also has dbus as a dependency. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
