Thank you for your anwser and have a nice day

What is your /etc/rc.local and nano /etc/rc.conf.local content?

My rc.local is /usr/local/bin/slim -d if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } And my rc.conf.local is Pkg_scripts="dbus_daemon avahi_daemon" dbus_enable=YES if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); }

Hi, Dbus_daemon is renamed to messagebus in 5.8 So you need to change your pkg_scripts as well add slim to it. pkg_scripts="messagebus avahi_daemon slim"

i got the same error is very weird 😕

Remove slim and try to login…

I remove slim from the command and i have the same message. Do you want i remkve completely slim from the system?

Can you try with the default xdm(1) login manager rather than slim? This way, you will at least be able to determine if the problem is your choice of login manager, or something else in your configuration Ensure slim is not started manually in /etc/rc.local Ensure slim is not included in pkg_scripts in /etc/rc.conf.local Add xdm_flags=Yes to /etc/rc.conf.local, or use rcctl(8) to enable it. If symptoms remain the same, look to log files in /var/log, such as /var/log/messages and var/log/daemon,

I add # before the command slim in rc.local and abd the xdm command and no the ui don’t start anymore i am going to check the log file

Problem to link openbsd user and xfce login screen

jggimi

XFCE, KDE, and GDM have "meta" packages. If you issue the following command, you will not only install the meta package which contains the missing README, you may also install other packages which together make up the full XFCE integrated desktop, if you have not installed each of them already.

# pkg_add xfce

When i write pkg_add xfce. He only say can’t find xfce

jggimi

The pkg_add(1) program (in Section 1 of the manpages, "man 1 pkg_add" or "man pkg_add") requires an installation path. This is configured via the file /etc/pkg.conf (see the pkg.conf(5) man page) or via the PKG_PATH environment variable. If you have the variable defined, the configuration file is not used. You need to ensure one of these is configured.

To see if you have the PKG_PATH environment variable defined, issue this shell command: "echo $PKG_PATH" -- and if you have a string defined, it will appear in reply. If you have an /etc/pkg.conf file, you can see the contents with the shell command "cat /etc/pkg.conf"

A description of both of these is in OpenBSD FAQ15. See FAQ 15.2.2

I have my pkg path but he don’t find anything in

jggimi

If the response from "echo $PKG_PATH" is blank, you do not have the variable defined. Please see FAQ 15.2.2, The link is in my last post.
