I installed a FreeBSD VirtualBox virtual machine, then followed the  guide [1] to install KDE:

I runned

# pkg install x11/kde4

then added

proc           /proc       procfs  rw  0   0

to  /etc/fstab

and added

kdm4_enable="YES"

to /etc/rc.conf


But when I rebooted the system I got the message

kdm: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled

I tried to manually start X by running

startx

but I obtained message "startx: command not found"

then I tried to run

#pkg install xorg

and finally I managed to start KDM and X. After I logged into KDM, I got the error message

Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to connect to /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

Then I got the error message about dbus as in screenshot #2

I have forgotten to write that after the second error message, the system brings you back to KDM login
Comment 3 Oleksandr Kryvulia 2015-08-31 08:43:29 UTC 
Have you devel/dbus installed and running?
Comment 4 Germano Massullo 2015-08-31 14:10:37 UTC 
(In reply to Alexandr Krivulya from comment #3)
Yes it is installed

Okay I just checked if it was running, and it was not. So I added
dbus_enable="YES"
in file /etc/rc.conf


I think I will open a bugreport against documentation in order to add that together with enabling kdm, you have to enable dbus too
