I
built a kernel with radeon :-)
The intel gpu manages full HD video and funky plasma5 effects just fine
at a fraction of the battery usage of the radeon. These days I ask
myself: if I'm not gaming at insane frame rates, or using cuda, then why
do I need the radeon power at all?

it uses up to that maximum if it is available. It's backed by swap and
the kernel does it's usual memory management magic to keep everything
ticking along.

Hmmm. libxfcegui4 is old compat code for legacy shit from 3 versions
back. I doubt you need it, and if you do, I suggest getting rid of the
plugin that's requiring it. Or maybe you emerged it blindly. Either way:
emerge -
mp/portage. The
build dir will be on the same volume as /var/tmp
2. If you do have the spare RAM, by all means use a tmpfs - it speeds
build times up amazingly. Put a tmpfs entry in fstab and nothing else.
Voila, instant speed up. Libreoffice build time is halved.
2a. If you have spare RAM but not gobs and gobs of it (eg 8G tmpfs is
pushing it), then stick with #2, but add specific env overrides for huge
packages like libreoffice and firefox to use some other temp dir on disk
for building and not /var/tmp/portage

Gentoo config should be declarative, not imperative. You should tell it

use the file and the directory *have*the*same*name*
So you must first move the file out of the way or rename it, then move
it into the newly created directory.
What ought to have happened, and the convention had long existed when
this scheme for portage was thought up, is to call the directory
/etc/portage/package.mask.d/
then you could easily have a main file and as many subsidiary files as
you need/want. Just like how every other package seems to do it.

vlc has nothing to do with your jpeg problem. It's referenced above in a

nxclient seems to be at the heart of your problem, it wants a version of
jpeg that conflicts withe libjpeg-turbo. But nxclient is no longer in

When did you last sync the tree? If it was a while back, you should do
it now and retry emerge

and this is more explanatory data about why you need systemd, sysvinit
and libgudev. Normally it's a good idea to print why blockers are being

Nothing to say why 219_p112 is the highest usable version.
Once the emerge finishes and portage has done what it wants, run these
commands:
emerge -pv systemd
emerge -pv =systemd-225
(225 being latest in the tree). Then we can see better why portage is
