<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Not sure you will have much luck with
KDE5 on DragonFly, as it is very much a Linux oriented desktop
environment. The PCBSD folks (now TrueOS) used to support KDE4,
but eventually started work on a QT5 based BSD oriented desktop
called Lumina, which does work well on DragonFly.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Of course if anyone has actually
attempted to get KDE5 to work on DragonFly, they will likely chime
in...<br>

<div dir="auto">Yes, it seems that dbus support is there but the
directories which the OS "cannot find" really are not there.
<div dir="auto">I have installed dozens of packages with "pkg
search <qt5 or whatever>" followed by "pkg install
<whatever>" that is not really the issue.</div>
<div dir="auto">The issue is the login screen of KDE locks me
out. I looked for the launcher itself to tell it to
dbus-launch with no real success.</div>
<div dir="auto">I installed KDE with mkdesktop as root. My last
guess is that I can launch KDE from a script in root. However
there are several directories which really do not exist.</div>

<div>I have spent all day working on this, since
8 a.m. it is now 1:45. X11 and DBUS did not
configure properly. Mkdesktop is the pkg I
used to build KDE and now, because
/var/run/dbus is literaly not there I cannot
log in.</div>
<div>I need to bypass the desktop to get console
access. I have used the live image several
times and made changes which ultimately have
not produced results.</div>
<div>I have changed the entry for tty8, I have
written an .xinitrc, I have changed the .login
and .login-config both to BAK.login. And I get
nowhere.</div>
<div>At this point I want to remove KDE, but I
can't. Using the live image as root does not
allow me to remove any packages.</div>
<div>How can I get around the desktop login?</div>
<div>Jonathan Engwall</div>
<div>Also I have noticed that /etc/X11/ is empty<br>
