If there are errors you will find as E* codes as this one:
13322 statx(AT_FDCWD, "/home/purslow/.local/share/mime", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT, STATX_ALL, 0x7ffc1c1473d0) = -1 ENOENT
But in this case is not critical, since looks for in several directories, ENOENT happens when a file or directory does not exists, OS usually looks for in several places before do the program die,
In this case first look for in .local for mime files and after here:13322 statx(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/mime", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT, STATX_ALL, {stx_mask=STATX_ALL|STATX_MNT_ID, stx_attributes=0, stx_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, stx_size=4096, ...}) = 0
in /usr/share/mime that are found and because of this does not have ENOENT error.
EPERM and EACCES usually are the critital errors you must find. Also you could see at the end "killed by SIGSEGV or something like this", El 19/7/25 a las 5:05, Philip Webb escribió:

During the past few days, I removed all the old KDE pkgs, did an update of all the Qt pkgs which were installed & re-installed all the previous KDE pkgs in their new versions, so that I now have Qt 5.15.17 + 6.9.1 , KDE Frameworks 6.13.0 , Plasma 6.3.5 + Apps 25.04.2 . I use OpenRC with 'startx' + '.xinitrc' : for Fluxbox, the latter is simply 'startfluxbox' , for KDE, it's 'exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startplasma-x11', which worked with the old version of KDE & is recommended in Gentoo Wiki. Now when I enter 'startx', I get a black screen + a movable mouse-pointer, but nothing else, & have to restart the machine & return to Fluxbox. There is an error msg : "$DISPLAY is not set or can't connect to server". Gentoo Wiki seems to recommend using 'sddm' instead of 'startx', which it describes at "the old method". I have 'elogind' 2.55.17 installed. I've looked at the logs in /var/log , but can't see anything relevant. Can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong ? Might it be advisable to use 'sddm' in future ?use strace to see where it fails : eg 'strace -f -o /tmp/output bash -c startx'Thanks for your prompt reply.
