Definitely the Xorg monolithic to modular upgrade. KDE is based on X.org. Not the other way around... Further X.org was contrary to KDE made modular by upstream.

First you need to decide if you want all of X.org (virtual/x11) or a more minimal install (xorg-base/x11-xorg). Likewise you need to decide if you want all of KDE (kde-base/kde-meta) or only selected apps or something in the middle. Also if these computers aren't too different (i.e. the CFLAGS are alike - same arch) from each other it might be worth the effort to make use flags the same and create a binhost. That way after compiling it on one computer with FEATURES=buildpkg you wouldn't have to compile them again for any of the remaining computers.

By the way, this doc is good for explaining the issues, but does not explain a clear method to perform the migration form mono to meta.. Did you look at [1] too? Yes, That solves how to install a new kde (mono, meta, split) but does not really address cleanzing the sytem of all the old kde kruft. I have stuff from kde 3.2, 3.3., 3.4 on some of my older systems. Beside, my thoughts are to remove everthing and start from fresh, as I seem to be tracking down a multitude of kde related trivial issues on a variety of kde/gentoo systems I manage. Is there an easy way to remove all of the kde packages before migration to kde-meta? Sure. But it would remove packages that the meta packages depend on too. kde-base/kdelibs takes a long time to compile and hence shouldn't be removed as you still need it. Unless of course you need to upgrade it anyway. This might be feasible: #cd /var/db/pkg emerge -Cva `ls -d kde-base/* | grep -v -r 'kdelibs\|arts'` It will remove everything in the kde-base category except kdelibs and arts. Make sure to check what it removes before doing it. It shouldn't be more than 13 packages. [SNIP] But if meta is going away, like the monolithic kde packaging (eventually) I'd rather go straight to the split kde package system. Comments and Recommendations on kde-meta's future? Why would you think the kde-meta aka the split packages would be going away? They certainly won't. xfree_vs_xorg, dev_vs_udev, and now kde seem to need major surgery Historical experiences with Gentoo. Gentoo is great for the current new stuff, but often, I'm learning and dealing with minutia, I would prefer to avoid. When I do avoid the gentoo minutia, I get burned, like now having to move to meta or split. Granted, in the long run, these migrations have been good, but it's still painful (time consuming) to walk the gentoo path, at times Actually there aren't a lot of monolithic packages. [1] lists them all in a box in section 2. If you have all of them you still need to remove only 13 packages. Well, but, on some systems, I have kde files from 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 and 3.5.2 now installed. I have a mess across 7 differnet gentoo workstations. These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done! .[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kaboodle-3.5.2) .[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data-3.5.2) This tells you that kde-base/kdemultimedia blocks both kaboodle and kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data. You only need to remove the one package kdemultimedia. It just blocks a lot of packages that are pulled in by kde-meta. [SNIP] From mono to split? Some gentoo/kde systems I manage will want to go to the split system or a few kde-meta packages and the rest of the kde(split) apps individually installed. Do what I said above or just remove the few packages manually when they block something. There really aren't that many. emerging any split package will work just as well as the meta packages.

Re: [gentoo-user] kde 4.2.1 sill pulling in 3.5 packages
On Tuesday 24 March 2009 19:26:45 James wrote: Hello, Confidence is high that I've mucked_up this upgrade to kde-4.2.1. I was content to leave the system at 3.5.9 and while I was messing around, I guess I triggered a kde 4.2.1 install (I had started the upgrade and decide to wait some weeks ago.) Long story short, I'm now running kde-4.2.1 [OK] I moved my world file to a backup so as to avoid all of those dependency issues. It worked pretty well. However, now I'm adding the packages back a few at a time and lots of stuff calls for kdelibs-3.5.9-r1. Where I'm confused is can I have 2 versions of kdelibs installed at the same time? My gut tells me NO? Yes, you can. In fact, this is the whole point of SLOTs. The versions are kept separate by putting them in different directories. KDE-3.5 stuff always goes in /usr/kde/3.5 whereas KDE-4 can go in one of two places depending on the setting of the kdeprefix USE flag: with USE=kdeprefix /usr/kde/4.x with USE=-kdeprefix /usr/ The apps don't get confused becuase when they are built and linked, the relevant tools are instructed where the correct libs are. So, KDE-4 apps do not get told to link against KDE-3.5 libraries. If they do, then it is a bug. What am I missing. Kde-4.2.1 is up and running. Although I have not extensively tested it, I can run konqueror and seamonkey and many other apps. just fine. As it is supposed to. So what I think I need to do (again) is Mask kdelibs 3.5.x completely? Not really necessary (syntax suggestions here for package.mask are welcome) emerge -C kde-3.5.9* (can I do this?) emerge --depclean -a and then watch closely what I emerge? Honestly, the best way is to just not install stuff that needs kde-3.5 packages. I use KDE-4, but I still have kdelibs-3.5 installed - I have a few 3.5 apps that are not yet ported to 4 (like luma). Getting to this point can happen in several ways, depending on how you installed kde-3.5 originally. 1. If you ran 'emerge kde' and have monolithic versions, get rid of them with emerge -C (or just delete them out of your world file). 2. If you emerge the kde -meta ebuilds, then unmerge them (or delete them from world) 3. If you installed a bunch of kde apps individually, then find them in world and delete them. Now run 'emerge -av --depclean' and closely inspect what portage wants to nuke. With luck, it'll be a whole horde of 3.5 stuff, so let it rip when you are happy with it. Then run 'emerge -pvuND world' and see if portage wants to re-install anything from kde-3.5 (this is indeed highly likely...). Now use your various portage tools (q, equery, etc) to find out why portage wants to add 3.5 apps back in, and deal with that issue. One at a time. Rinse, repeat in a recursive process till 3.5 is gone. You don't really need to mask anything, unless you are a thick idiot who never checks emerge output before giving the go-ahead. Previous posts from you suggest that thick idiot is not an accurate description :-) Avoiding having kde-3.5 stuff installed is exactly the same as avoiding having firefox installed - don't emerge it. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

If you've installed split kde (kde-meta) then why are you trying to install monolithic kde packages?

And why are you installing either of those at all when they have already been pulled in by kde-meta? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml Aah ok well the howto i found on google didn't mention anything about using meta packages for the apps once i had the base installed. This could explain why I have spent the last week compiling stuff for kde ;) Well, you only need meta packages if you want to install everything that ships together upstream. You could just emerge the split packages you want such as e.g. konqueror, kcontrol, etc.. Ok i'll probably re-install unless there's some easy way to clean up. There certainly is an easier way than reinstalling for this issue. What you've posted thus far actually suggests that you haven't made a mess out of your system yet as it showed kdepim and kdebase as not yet installed. In that case you just need to stop trying to install monolithic packages. Otherwise you need to unmerge the monolithic packages you've installed with --nodeps and remerge the split packages that they've overwritten. Code Listing 3.1 in the above document shows you how to get the name of the packages any monolithic package would overwrite. E.g. if you've emerged kdebase-meta and kdebase at the same time and you want to stick with split packages you can do this: # emerge -Cva kdebase # function die() { echo $@; } # source $(portageq portdir)/eclass/kde-functions.eclass # emerge --oneshot -va $(get-child-packages kde-base/kdebase) -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

There should only be -meta packages, and individual packages for which you have NOT installed the -meta package, in there. vi the world file and remove the stuff that shouldn't be there, then emerge -C all-kde3.5-meta-packages-in-world emerge -a --depclean as alternative simply append to all kde-base/* packages in world :4.3 and do then a depclean ;-) Which promptly defeats the ENTIRE purpose of a world file and -meta packages. a) I've never used the meta packages, but selected my KDE apps on purpose You missed the part where the user clearly states earlier that he DOES use -meta packages. With that in mind, any advice you give should be aligned to the fact that he is a -meta user b) it's a lot easier this way to get rid of the KDE 3 stuff, however you should get drop of the slot again after depclean has been finished How is it easier? You have to maintain the SLOTs in world yourself because the instant you do that portage will not automagically offer to upgrade anymore (upgrades within the same slot excepted). And --depclean will NOT adjust your SLOTs in world when it's finished. I can't really make sense of your last sentence but that is what you seem to imply Yes, that's what I've said. Drop the slot again after depclean has finished. Exactly because of the upgrades. If that's how you want to admin your box, I am using long enough Gentoo that I remember very well the times when portage destroyed the world file completely. That was long ago and no longer applicable. That bug in portage got fixed, so a behaviour on your part to compensate for a bug that is not there is outdated behaviour. And regenworld put *anything* into world at that time. Therefore I know very well, what should be in this file and what not. There's no magic. Yes, the only things in world are packages you want that are not dependencies of something else already in world. You are advising the user to put the dependencies of -meta packages into world No. I adviced him to add :4.3 to all kde-base/* packages that *are* in world. when the -meta package is already there. It does not matter in this case if the package is -meta or not. And that is plain silly can I recommend you switch to sabayon instead? ROFL! So, you mean, if users get too smart, Gentoo is no longer their distribution? Don't be silly. Erm, you should read the whole thread and realise the bits you missed - the bits that make your statements nonsensical All I did, was offering an alternative method to get rid of KDE 3 using depclean without the need to identify every package individually. Feel free to ignore it. - Jörg

Re: [gentoo-user] Finer grained kde*-meta packages
Hello Alan McKinnon, 'emerge *-meta' is fine if one wants everything, or 'emerge kopete kmail konqueror' if you just want a few bits like me, but there's this large no-man's land in the middle where it is just unweildy. No fault of Gentoo, it's all KDEs fault for having 300+ distinct apps/code bodies :-) But you don't need all of them in world, many are only installed as dependencies of other packages. I have most of KDE installed here, yet only 67 kde-base packages in world. You could reduce that sill further by using more than the two meta packages I currently have. -- Neil Bothwick Q: Why do PCs - even modern ones - have reset buttons on the front?

I spend most of my time in vim, in the C program and documentation toolchains or in a browser. The reason I bring this up is that my account just froze on me from running out of disk space. A little research showed that an odd-sounding thing called nepomuk was using 7.2 G (SEVEN GIGS) in some dotfiles. It turns out to be a KDE client - whatever that is. I've got a lot of space here and there, but my /home partition was never near full before. Put -semantic-desktop in your make.conf. emerge -auDN world. emerge -a --depclean. That should do it. Is that even possible? Won't a number of KDE apps demand the semantic-desktop use flag set? Don't know, never happened here. Just tried it, and the following apps are being recompiled right now: [ebuild R ] kde-base/pykde4-4.3.5-r1 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] kde-base/gwenview-4.3.5 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] kde-base/akonadi-4.3.5 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] net-wireless/kbluetooth-0.4.2 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.3.5 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] kde-base/dolphin-4.3.5 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta-4.3.5 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] kde-base/kmail-4.3.5 USE=-semantic-desktop* [ebuild R ] kde-base/kdeplasma-addons-4.3.5 USE=-semantic-desktop* Let's see if it works. I seem to recall that I had to enable this for some updates recently. Something wouldn't compile without the USE flag being set. I don't think I need the thing either so if this works now, I may change mine and try it too. Also, I use the kde-meta package which may make a difference. KMail from KDE 4.4 needs it. KMail from KDE 4.3 doesn't. Since kde-meta would pull in Kmail, that could be the problem for me. If you folks are doing yours the manual way, you may can get away with it. I suspect that some other packages will pull it in as KDE develops tho. After all, KDE 4 has a LOT of eye candy to it. Sort of like winders actually. ;-) Dale :-) :-)

[gentoo-user] has the sun set ?
Using Kde-Sunset, I have 3 useful apps available in forms which aren't provided by KDE 4 (Kworldclock Ksokoban Kmahjongg). Yesterday, while doing my weekly system update, I encountered a msg : !!! The following installed packages are masked: - media-libs/lcms-1.19-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Matthias Maier tam...@gentoo.org (27 May 2015) # on behalf of Andreas K. Huettel dilfri...@gentoo.org # media-libs/lcms:0 has serious security issues and is unmaintained, # see bug 526642. Please uninstall it and/or upgrade to media-libs/lcms:2 I looked at the bug, which explains the reason for dropping Lcms:0 . Unfortunately, Kde-Sunset appears to require Lcms:0 for Libmng:0 , which is required by Qt-Meta:3 which aren't included in Kde-Sunset itself. For now, I can simply ignore the warning, but it looks as if it wb no longer possible to install Kde-Sunset on a new machine. I realise Gentoo itself doesn't provide support for Kde-Sunset, but does anyone know of a way round this obstacle or have other advice ? -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

I had to explictly do: emerge -pv =kde-apps/kde-meta-4.14.3-r1 Then it works (pulls from kde-sunset.) However, if I try to update @world, it still wants to drag in a bunch of kde5 crap.

Just showing a couple of tricks. On Thursday 22 June 2006 20:15, James wrote: Yes, That solves how to install a new kde (mono, meta, split) but does not really address cleanzing the sytem of all the old kde kruft. I have stuff from kde 3.2, 3.3., 3.4 on some of my older systems. This removes everything in kde-base that is version 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 (and installed of course): # cd /var/db/pkg emerge -Cva kde-base/*-3.{2,3,4}* #cd /var/db/pkg emerge -Cva `ls -d kde-base/* | grep -v -r \ 'kdelibs\|arts'` One could add a version too so that only the newest version of kdelibs and arts is kept since it is still required. Like this: # cd /var/db/pkg emerge -Cva `ls kde-base | grep -v -r 'kdelibs-3\.5\.3\|arts-3\.5\.3'` Beside, my thoughts are to remove everthing and start from fresh, as I seem to be tracking down a multitude of kde related trivial issues on a variety of kde/gentoo systems I manage. This removes everything in kde-base. It's equivalent to Neils suggestion. # cd /var/db/pkg emerge -Cva kde-base/* Also after removing old slots there may still be third party apps left that has been compiled against the old versions. They need to be remerged after the new version of kde has been emerged to compile them against the new version and remove the old cruft in /usr/kde/3.4 etc. This will show you what packages still have cruft in /usr/kde/3.2 - 3.4: # find /usr/kde/3.{2,3,4} | xargs equery belongs | cat Unmerge what you don't need or remerge (after emerging kde 3.5) what you still need. When you are done with that the above command should give no output and any files still in /usr/kde/3.2 - 3.4 can be safely deleted since they belong to no package. Pay attention to what you do though. A revdep-rebuild before this step will probably take care of most of this. xfree_vs_xorg, dev_vs_udev, and now kde seem to need major surgery Historical experiences with Gentoo. Gentoo is great for the current new stuff, but often, I'm learning and dealing with minutia, I would prefer to avoid. When I do avoid the gentoo minutia, I get burned, like now having to move to meta or split. Granted, in the long run, these migrations have been good, but it's still painful (time consuming) to walk the gentoo path, at times The split packages are replacing the monolithic.

There should only be -meta packages, and individual packages for which you have NOT installed the -meta package, in there. vi the world file and remove the stuff that shouldn't be there, then emerge -C all-kde3.5-meta-packages-in-world emerge -a --depclean as alternative simply append to all kde-base/* packages in world :4.3 and do then a depclean ;-) Which promptly defeats the ENTIRE purpose of a world file and -meta packages. a) I've never used the meta packages, but selected my KDE apps on purpose You missed the part where the user clearly states earlier that he DOES use -meta packages. With that in mind, any advice you give should be aligned to the fact that he is a -meta user b) it's a lot easier this way to get rid of the KDE 3 stuff, however you should get drop of the slot again after depclean has been finished How is it easier? You have to maintain the SLOTs in world yourself because the instant you do that portage will not automagically offer to upgrade anymore (upgrades within the same slot excepted). And --depclean will NOT adjust your SLOTs in world when it's finished. I can't really make sense of your last sentence but that is what you seem to imply If that's how you want to admin your box, I am using long enough Gentoo that I remember very well the times when portage destroyed the world file completely. That was long ago and no longer applicable. That bug in portage got fixed, so a behaviour on your part to compensate for a bug that is not there is outdated behaviour. And regenworld put *anything* into world at that time. Therefore I know very well, what should be in this file and what not. There's no magic. Yes, the only things in world are packages you want that are not dependencies of something else already in world. You are advising the user to put the dependencies of -meta packages into world when the -meta package is already there. And that is plain silly can I recommend you switch to sabayon instead? ROFL! So, you mean, if users get too smart, Gentoo is no longer their distribution? Don't be silly.

If you wonder *why* the drivers are broken: GeForce 8xxx and 9xxx series almost completely lack 2D acceleration hardware. The 3D engine of the hardware must be used to render 2D stuff (including video). NVidia has not really implemented this for their Linux drivers yet.

I spend most of my time in vim, in the C program and documentation toolchains or in a browser. The reason I bring this up is that my account just froze on me from running out of disk space. A little research showed that an odd-sounding thing called nepomuk was using 7.2 G (SEVEN GIGS) in some dotfiles. It turns out to be a KDE client - whatever that is. I've got a lot of space here and there, but my /home partition was never near full before. Put -semantic-desktop in your make.conf. emerge -auDN world. emerge -a --depclean. That should do it. Is that even possible? Won't a number of KDE apps demand the semantic-desktop use flag set? Don't know, never happened here.

I seem to recall that I had to enable this for some updates recently. Something wouldn't compile without the USE flag being set. I don't think I need the thing either so if this works now, I may change mine and try it too. Also, I use the kde-meta package which may make a difference. KMail from KDE 4.4 needs it. KMail from KDE 4.3 doesn't.

Maybe even the kde ones? The make.profile choice switches on/off certain USE flags and specifies a set of system packages for the particular profile. These will in turn drag in other packages as dependencies when you update your system. Therefore, unless you go for a minimalist make.profile you should not need to be emerging packages one at a time to get a functional desktop, although you will need to emerge individual applications of choice if these are not already included in the DE default set of packages. More details: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Profile_(Portage) KDE applications are mostly grouped in meta packages. These are meant to be installed selectively. For example I install 'kde-apps/kdepim-meta' because I use Kmail, but will not install 'kde-apps/kdegames-meta' because I don't run any games applications. > (Having re-read the KDE page, it's suddenly making a lot more sense, but > that's with hindsight. But am I right that the profile modifies the > system set of packages?) Yes, as I mention above, it modifies USE flags and specifies a set of system packages too. You could have started with a stripped down profile, like 'default/linux/ amd64/17.1/systemd (stable)' and then spend a lot of time tweaking USE flags and installing various packages and meta packages to get to the same end result. Thanks to Gentoo devs, all this work is no longer necessary since there are more make.profile options to choose from. :-) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I disagree. My burden is maintaining KDE is about the same through major versions 3, 4 and 5. Nowadays I mostly list the 30 or so KDE apps I actually use in a set, and the USE flags for stuff I have and can use go in make.conf. The ebuilds then take care of things and mostly get it right.

Example, in KDE-3 we had packages kde, and kde-*-meta. These were no atomic, they were "bunches of stuff sort-of somewhat related" like games, network and so on. When you break that up into lots of small packages, the burden goes *down*, in much the same way that software becomes easier when you refactor a giant main() with many global vars into many small self contained functions. I have many times observed comments on -dev where kde maintainers bitch loudly about how difficult it is to maintain the large monolithic kde packages of versions <5. All this seems to add up to the opposite of what you are claiming. Alan [1] Be careful not to commit the human problem of remembering the few times the ebuild got it wrong (especially when using ~arch), and not remembering, or not seeing at all, the many many many times it didn't

The best solution is to get rid whatever is pulling in KDE. As for blocking stuff to pull in, to quote Frank Sinatra, "I did it m-y-y-y-y-y way".

Samir Faci samir.list at gmail.com writes: if you've just completed a proper install from the handbook (presuming a bootable system, with bootloader, cron/syslog, etc). you really don't need to do a system.kde-meta (iirc should pull xorg as a dependency, so all you'd need is kde-meta and the world update, but you'd still need to add whatever software your user would use). Got it. One more question. I remember some time ago somebody had a slick script or method to compile the apps listed in the world file, from an existing system to the new system, all together at once, rather that typing in all of those app names into one giant emerge command. I cannot seem to find that thread, via gmane. Anyone remember that discussion and the resulting conclusion (which I thought I save but cannot find in my files either) ? or maybe the best method is: emerge list of apps named in another systems world file or just scp over a copy of the world file and issue: emerge -uvDN world revdep-rebuilduntil no errors? ??? recommndations on automating this final-step, on a new installation, are most welcome.

However, portage doesn't exactly make it easy for you with the output. Mere information is often obfuscated and looks like stuff you must fix, whereas the real nuggets can be hidden in the noise.

Two separate things result in different version of Qt being pulled into the problem solution. And it's exactly the form you'd expect. The first chunk is really saying that icu-56.1 is the most recent version and all other things being equal, that's the one portage would install. The second chunk is saying that qtcore-4.8.7-r1 requires icu-55.1 (not the most recent), so portage spews forth heaps of junk to helpfully let you not figure it out. What portage really should say is more like: Most recent version of icu (icu-56.1) not installed due to these requirements: qtcore-4.8.7-r1 requires icu-55.1 Ignore the multiple OMG! bangs before all of the above output > > > > It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to > prevent one of those packages from being selected.

You *do* keep your world file tidy, don't you? :P That would be the easiest method. If you use the kde-meta package like I do, just remove the one for KDE 3 and let --depclean do its thing. It should get all of it. If you want to keep something tho, you need to add it to the world file first and then run --depclean. That way it will keep the program(s) you want and the things they depend on but remove everything else. This will save you from having to reinstall those packages. You may even have to get them from the overlay at that point. So don't uninstall something you want to keep. If you have the drive space, you can leave it there for a while longer tho. Just keep in mind that there are no security updates or anything like that. If you add the overlay, you will get a few updates at least. Dale :-) :-)

Because xtermabiwordsome odd pagerthunderbird don't look so good anymore. This gem is a couple of years old, but still a worthy read: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html Read it. Seriously. I don't know how good exmap is, but my personal experience is quite different. Between Fall 1999 and Summer 2007 I had a Dell Dimension with a 450 mhz PIII and 128 megs of *SYSTEM RAM* (no not the video card). It was actually quite usable to the very end, with Blackbox WM, and running a few apps. Meanwhile, KDE (and GNOME for that matter) would take forever to load and make the system crawl after that, even with 1 or 2 apps loaded. I remember running Slackware on a Pentium 1 100MHz laptop with 128M RAM. The speed was of course glacial unless I was running only a console with no X. KDE would load and run, as long as I didn't push it too much. Fluxbox was more respectable. In contrast, MSWindows NT4 would load and run better as it was a more light- footed OS. MSWindows 3.1 was blisteringly fast and MSDOS, well ... However, life moves on and with the cost of hardware coming down software has moved towards larger, all bells and whistles, DEs. The change in design philosophy from KDE3 to KDE4 made things worse for those of us who do not want everything and the kitchen sink thrown in, but still want to use some KDE apps. Thankfully, the move to the KDE meta ebuilds has provided some compensation against a full blown monolithic KDE. Personally, I'm grateful that Linux devs continue to develop exceptional software and so I don't have to use MSWindows. On the other hand I have always preferred more lightweight WMs to the full enchilada of KDE and Gnome and wish that KDE devs retained the KDE3 design philosophy, or afforded us a light(er) option. PS. I'm not sure that Linus is using Gnome. I recall him bitching that the Gnome design approach (which unfortunately KDE imitated) was not the right direction to evolve linux in. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Kernel 4.9.6-r1 is not the problem on at least two boxen I just checked - I also tried a Macbook which keeps crashing at boot time with this kernel, but that's for another post. The USB problem is related to the latest updates I ran, which also coincided with the kernel upgrade and this put me off the scent. I booted into 4.4.39 and the problem was still there on two different PCs. I also booted into two different desktop managers, Plasma and Enlightenment. The problem remained with both of them, whether I used KDE apps to mount the USB stick or not. As I mentioned, when I use pmount on the CLI I can mount the device. However, when I used udisksctl, I got this: $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount === Authentication is required to mount Crucial Gizmo! overdrive (/dev/sdb) Authenticating as: root Password: What?! This comes up with plain users, and users in the wheel group. This makes me think the problem may be polkit related.

This is good to hear, but it's entirely theoretical from my point of view. How would I find out about turning off KDE and turning on twm? If you use /etc/rc.conf to set your desktop (the Gentoo way) then booting to a console and running startx will give you twm. alternatively, you could emerge another window manager, such as Fluxbox. I'd like to practice this before I destroy my system. I love your optimism :) If you emerge kde-meta, you'll have everything that the monolithic kde ebuild gave you, just in manageable bite-sized chunks. Hmph. You call 300 separate ebuilds manageable? I suppose it is if you meta them in as a chunk. It's also manageable in that you can manage what gets installed. You have the choice of using a meta-package to install everything, or picking only the apps you want installed. Why install kmail and its dependencies if you use a different mailer? So the payoff is in not recompiling them all when one changes? I guess that's reasonable. Un-humph.

That is difficult or impossible and is AFAIK not supported. Quoting [1]: Split and monolithic ebuilds can be mixed freely. The only restriction is that a monolithic ebuild can't be installed at the same time as a split ebuild deriving from it. There are blocking dependencies in the ebuilds that enforce this, so you can do anything emerge allows you to do. Sweet. I didn't know the Gentoo devs were that cool. The restriction is only logical. I'm in favour of removing the monolithic ebuilds too though. They seem to cause more confusion than they are worth. :) Agreed. It's always possible for ebuild developers to depend on the -meta package until they can determine what individual libraries/apps/etc. they need from it. Unfortunately, until we get a good confcache-style program, emerging the -meta ebuild does take a bit longer than emerging the monolithic version.

Perl crap everywhere, Samba, MySQL MariaDB, and I don't even use either of these DB's, a battle between LibAV and FFMPEG, what looks like all of KDE and oh look, there's vlc along for the ride. Even zlib decides it wants to come along but manages to block itself. That many files want to come along to the party that I can't Shift PgUp back up through my text console to see it all - a text console because I don't have any graphics installed yet. I had a look at the consolekit ebuild and it says that it needs polkit, even though the wiki says that polkit depends upon consolekit - going round in circles here. So I looked at the polkit ebuild and it looks like it needs polkit-kde-agent, which to my untrained eye, probably is responsible for this avalanche os stuff - I think So what do I have to do to not have this avalanche of stuff, so that I can emerge pieces bit by bit, so that I can see what's happening.
