Re: Cannot start CDE

“Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)”

“modeset(0): glamor initialization failed”

Are these two errors relevant? And I do find nothing in the home directory.

Here it is, and I didn’t find the .Xsession-error file in my home directory.

Please note, I used a lowercase "x" in ".xsession-errors.log".

I also did not offer to look at your Xorg.0.log file for you (sorry, but I won't open an attachment just like that) :-)... It's fairly readable, look for lines containing "(EE)" (errors), those will normally give you an idea of whats going on

Hello, I am trying to install CDE to have a look of it. After installing Xorg using pkg on 12.3-Release, I installed CDE through package, and follow the instructions on the pkg message:

It is unlikely to be useful in everyday use, and should not be used in untrusted environments as there are highly likely to be unresolved security issues. It is also necessary to enable the Subprocess Control Service (and dtcms for the calendar to work). # sysrc rpcbind_enable=yes # sysrc dtcms_enable=yes # sysrc inetd_enable=yes # service rpcbind start && service dtcms start and Add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf: dtspc stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd and to /etc/services: dtspc 6112/tcp # CDE Subprocess Control Service To start the Common Desktop Environment, % ln -s /usr/local/dt/bin/Xsession ~/.Xsession % env LANG=C startx If you want to use dtlogin as well, you'll need to create /usr/local/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and add this line: allowed_users=anybody
But it just started XDM, what’s wrong with it?
have you looked in /var/log/X*.log (don't have the precise name nor a FreeBSD system handy)?
Also, there may be a file ".xsession-error*" in your $HOME - check whether there's anything useful there.
