I am using pkgsrc 2017Q4 on omnitribblix 0m20update3(LX variant of tribblix). When starting KDE with the following .xinitrc config, I am getting a black screen with error dialog "Plasma Desktop has closed unexpectedly."(shown in the attached image).
.xinitrc
exec /opt/local/bin/startkde
My PATH is:
/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/libexec:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
Other desktops such as MATE,XFCE and GNOME work well.The Xorg server I am using is from pkgsrc.
I am running this on a bare metal install of omnitribblix with no discrete graphics card. My rig consists of:
processor: Intel Core i7 6700(skylake)
motherboard: ASUS Z170 ProGaming
RAM: 8GB Corsair DDR4
Individual KDE apps such as KSysGuard,Konqueror,Konsole work without any glitches. Hitting Alt-F2 in the black screen brings up the command window. The issue also comes if I try to launch plasma-desktop or plasma-netbook from this.
The same issue is present if i use the native Xorg provided by tribblix distro.
