Hi Alan! I thought more or less that I have to unmask packages, or making any configurations to unlock the update to gnome3.
If I run now: tamer@office ~ $ emerge -pav gnome These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-2.32.1-r1 USE="cdr cups dvdr ldap policykit -accessibility -mono" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB tamer@office ~ $ I get one package to reinstall. If I run "layman -a gnome" and re-execute the command: I got this message: * If you enabled the GNOME overlay to get GNOME 3.2, please disable * it now, since GNOME 3.2 is already in portage and unmasked. How do I install gnome 3.2, that is now in portage?!
