xdm fails to start adter migrating to baselayout-2 and openrc-0.6.0 (see also #229431). The failing script is /etc/X11/startDM.sh, since it uses svcdir from baselayout-1). So the problem is easily fixed by remerging xinit. But in the end the ebuild should probably tell the user that (quite important) information, since the xdm start script does not throw out any error or start failure, but xdm (well in my case kdm, but I suspect, this is true for the other DMs, too) is just not started. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to baselayout-2/openrc-0.6.0 having the old xinit config 2. reboot Actual Results: xdm does not start anymore. Expected Results: The user should be warned to reinstall xinit after upgrading.
The /etc/X11/startDM.sh installed by x11-apps/xinit was last changed almost 3 years ago and is fully (backward) compatible with baselayout-1, it seems - ${svclib} is only used when get_options isn't exported. On a baselayout-2 system: elmer ~ # ( . /etc/init.d/functions.sh ; type get_options; ) get_options is /lib/rc/bin/get_options And the same with baselayout-1: marga ~ # ( . /etc/init.d/functions.sh ; type get_options; ) bash: type: get_options: not found Only in the latter case does startDM.sh try to source "${svclib}"/sh/rc-services.sh. Please post your `emerge --info x11-apps/xinit' and reopen this bug report.
OK, here's the one from the old installation (from my backup): kohni ~ # emerge --info x11-apps/xinit !!! It seems that /proc is not mounted. You have been warned.

if you're 3 years behind you're pretty much on your own :)
(In reply to comment #5) > if you're 3 years behind you're pretty much on your own :) > Well, let me make one thing clear: I'm not behind anything. :) I run sync and update roughly once a week. lafilefixer and revdep-rebuild are run in that intervalls, too. But somehow, this one file didn't get updated, don't ask me why. The installation I'm talking about is from 2003/2004, can't remember in detail and updated since then. What I was asking for, is to simply add a ewarn/elog to the baselayout-2/openrc/whatever ebuild saying something like "If you have trouble starting your graphical login manager, please remerge xinit befoure filing a bugreport"; probably to openrc, since there are already a lot of messages of that kind. It took me about a quarter of an hour to find out what's really wrong, and a less experienced user could possibly give up, since there is no error message, it just doesn't work. I would call such a message user-friendly, but that's just my personal point of view. Anyway, if there is anybody out there running in the same situation, this report might be helpful to find the solution. :) Best regards Jan
