Sv: GUI problems on Dragonfly

[Ravnengel]

Many thanks to both of you!
@Zachary, I have a Release (I think my difficulties might have something to do with my graphic card).
 @Peeter, I am very impressed by your effort!
No, I did not have the same typo in my rc.conf file. 

Earlier, I tried this method you mentioned with the .xinitrc, and it did not even start up. 

I did the recommended pkg upgrade, and retried - still no results :{
Anyway, many thanks to you both and I am not willing to give it up!


Yours,

 Can you check that the syntax for starting dbus in /etc/rc.conf is
correct? It should read

dbus_enable="YES"

i.e. no 'd' in 'enable'. As a quick test, I installed the current
lumina package, lumina-1.4.1,3, created the .xinitrc with a single
line

exec /usr/local/bin/start-lumina-desktop

and used startx --- lumina starts up fine. Can you check if this works
for you? If not, can you force update all the packages with

sudo pkg upgrade -f

and try again?

Cheers

Peeter
