X11 will ask for twm if there is no other Window Manager available, or a Display Environment not configured. Have you sorted out your ~/.xinitrc, or have you added your startup command in /etc/env.d/90xsession? There used to be a time when you could drop in your startup command in /etc/ X11/Sessions/, but I think this is no longer used.

In Plasma this would be kwin, which acts as a window manager and a compositor. If you had installed Plasma in accordance with the URL I shared in previous emails you shouldn't have this problem, because from what I recall kwin is being drawn in as a dependency of Plasma. > > I also get further errors, but they're probably a consequence - > > > > Could not load the Qt platform plugin "Wayland" in "" even though it was > > found > > > > and the same error for xcb. > > So simple. I was missing "emerge plasma-meta". Heh! Yes, you can't expect a DE to work if major packages are missing. ;-) > This is where it would be nice to have something like the handbook, or a > chapter in the handbook, on bringing up a working graphical environment. It is not in the Handbook, which has the purpose of installing the Gentoo OS itself, but it is in the Gentoo Documentation - look at the dropdown menu 'Documentation' of the Handbook web pages: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Category:Desktop In your case, as I posted previously, you need: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE But, from the errors you've been getting with startx it seems you haven't read relevant Xorg documentation either. > Now to get something like sddm working :-) For SDDM you better read this first: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SDDM > (Plus updating my SUSE version to 15.3, re-organising my hardware, blah > blah blah :-) > > Cheers, > Wol Glad you got your desktop going! :-) --nextPart3123696.44csPzL39Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
