[gentoo-user] kde-4.1 SLOT in kdesvn-portage
Hi, I use the kdesvn-portage overlay (the portage one, not the paludis-only one). To still stay this side of sanity, I emerged the 4.1.1 SLOT. I updated layman -S today only to find that the entire kde-4.1 SLOT has been removed. Can someone confirm? Am I actually dreaming? Anyone know why a perfectly reasonable set of ebuilds were removed? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I have a similar problem when I 'emerge --sync' it deletes my overlays I added with layman. Mike

Mike My problem was I symlinked /usr/local to /usr so layman was installing the overlays to /usr/portage instead of /usr/local/portage and they were getting deleted on 'emerge --sync'. I changed the layman installation directory in /etc/layman/layman.cfg and solved that problem. Mike

It compiles fine, installs, no problems. However... I normally start my gentoobox as rc 3. When I run startx, kde loads and looks quite wonderful, but just as the desktop grabs the mouse... it locks up. The lockup is so complete, I can't switch to a console and have to reboot... Does anyone have a suggestion? Kde 4,0 actually worked ok. kde4.05 and greater have been a wash for me. No luck what so ever. Total and complete lockup. Things I've done: tried 4.1, tried 4.1.66, made sure evdev is loaded... the logs show that X dies immediately... no output... just bang... Now running 3.5.10 with no problems. But I'd really, really like to get a current kde up and running. Jerry
