[gentoo-user] removing gnome
I put gnome on my system to try out gnopernicus which isn't working for me. I'd like to take gnome off of my system now but don't want to inadvertently remove needed X packages or libraries. Is there a way to do this? Tia. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is there a way to do this? Tia. Hi Cheryl, I've just been going through this sort of thing cleaning up my world file. To sort of encapsulate the process forst make sure you're system is up to date and clean using a command suvch as emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep world After that you could use emerge -Cp gnome to remove the top bit of Gnome but none of the underlying package. You can then run emerge -pv --depclean to find things that are no longer needed. Presumably this will include the next portions of gnome. you can remove them using --depclean but make sure that it's not trying to take too much out. If it is addd these other things into your world file. When you've done a bit of work then try revdep-rebuild -p to make sure that dependencies haven't been broken and emerge back in anything that's needed to fix up broken dependencies. when you're all done all three of these commands emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep world emerge -pv --depclean revdep-rebuild -p should come out clean and tell you there's no more work to do. Hope this helps, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] removing gnome
Cheryl, An important mistake! Please use emerge -pv --update --deep --newuse world when checking your system. --oneshot is for when you need to isntall something and don't want it going into the world file. you want to use --newuse to ensure that everything installed is consistent with the current set of flags. sorry, Mark On 5/17/05, Mark Knecht [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I put gnome on my system to try out gnopernicus which isn't working for me.
