@justine @Tionisla @grahamperrin @trashheap not specialty attached to KDE, I was just curious how the new desktop installer would work out, preparing for a presentation Freebsd 15 in some time.
To get it working I will try mango, 🥭
But the root cause is drm module not loading or matching as it seems
desktop-installer is not the new desktop installer.
It's a port that was added more than sixteen years ago:
Desktop-installer is a post-install script to assist in setting up a FreeBSD desktop system using any of the mainstream desktop systems. It automatically installs essential software and configures subsystems such as dbus, CUPS, etc. for typical use.
@passthejoe was your use of sysutils/desktop-installer for X.Org, or for Wayland?

@passthejoe failure to install KDE might happen at any time.
If a required package is unavailable, then pkg will be unable to fetch.
I can't recall what desktop-installer does in this situation, but it fails graceful.
The new desktop script will be integrated with FreeBSD installer, I should expect it to work with offline packages with the dvd1.iso approach.
