Maybe a stupid question, but have you tried run emerge --sync
.bash_history tells me I did this twice prior to your response...
and emerge -vauND world yet since installing?
...but not this. Doing so now produces something that is not obvious to me
how to respond to:
<begin screen output>
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=media-libs/libcanberra-0.4[gtk]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/libcanberra-0.26 (Change USE: +gtk)
(dependency required by "x11-misc/notification-daemon-0.5.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "virtual/notification-daemon-0[gnome]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-video/vlc-1.1.9[libnotify]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-libs/phonon-vlc-0.3.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-libs/phonon-4.5.0[vlc]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdelibs-4.6.2-r3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-misc/polkit-kde-kcmodules-0.98_pre20101127"
[ebuild])
<end screen output>
Is it telling me I have to change my USE from -gtk to +gtk, or can emerging
one of those 8 packages listed satisfy the dep? IOW, it's unclear to me what
"One of the following packages" actually refers to.
Do you have your video card specified in make.conf?
Should be somthing like:
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon"
I hadn't seen anything about VIDEO_CARDS until your response. Most of my
systems are mga, intel or radeon, but this particular one is NV. Finding the
answer to which of three possibles are the correct response led me to
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml which I hadn't seen before. Now
that I have I think I need to recompile due to misconfiguring of Graphics
support.
