When trying to start kde5 (5.3.1-r1) installed by kde-plasma/plasma-meta the file /usr/bin/startkde from package (kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.3.1) crashes with segfault when trying to start ksmserver. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit xinitrc and add "exec startkde" (instead of running something else) 2. run "startx" for user (in this case root) 3. ouput states the no connection could be made and then ksmserver segfaults and xsession could not be started 4. I have to admit I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but neither in forums nor in kde5 page nor on kde5_upgrade page there's information about this problem. I also did a forum post about this problem and got no answer for 2 days. Therefore I guess it must be a bug because this happens an a fresh installed gentoo system. So no kde4 was running so far. But I can tell that xserver runs when I remove "exec kdestart" from xinitrc it correctly starts when I do "startx" Actual Results: kde5 could not be started Expected Results: kde5 workspace should be up and running output of startx command: ------------------------- xauth: file /root/.serverauth.26567 does not exist X.Org X Server 1.16.4 Release Date: 2014-12-20 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 3.18.12-gentoo x86_64 Gentoo Current Operating System: Linux nuctux 3.18.12-gentoo #7 SMP Mon Jun 15 08:15:57 CEST 2015 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.18.12-gentoo root=/dev/sda4 ro Build Date: 11 June 2015 01:35:38PM Current version of pixman: 0.32.6 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Not sure, here's some random ideas that might shed some light: * Is /tmp mounted with any options? * Does it work as a normal user? * Are there any messages in dmesg? * Are there any messages in ~/.xsession-errors? * Is it possible to get a backtrace? * Are you using NVIDIA?
