I had this same problem when I tried to emerge gnome, I unmerged gnome and kde |
2 |
was fine again, I think, there might have been some residuals configs but for |
3 |
the most part I think that is all I had to do to get it running again. |

Check the forums. |

Please help, I have managed to really screw up my second gentoo box, |
15 |
|
16 |
** How I did it ** |
17 |
|
18 |
Well, I tried emergeing gnome, liked the look of it but then it appeared |
19 |
to crash, all icons on the desktop went & the bottom taskbar stopped |
20 |
working. |
21 |
|
22 |
Going into KDE all the K menus appeared messed up ie no kcontrol but |
23 |
quite a few gnome icons and apps. |
24 |
|
25 |
Not having emerge sync, emerge -e world for some time I did an emerge |
26 |
sync, system runs 247 so its not a problem. |
27 |
|
28 |
I had previously written a bash script to run through all the packages |
29 |
on the system & re-emerge them skipping any packages that have problems |
30 |
emergeing. Its still got approx 250 to go kde edu etc ... |
31 |
|
32 |
Has worked great in the past. |
33 |
|
34 |
** Whats happened ** |
35 |
|
36 |
Well what hasnt :( |
37 |
|
38 |
The kernel boots, all services start, X starts and the xorg logs look |
39 |
OK, etc-update showed no updates needed, weird since I have now emerged |
40 |
approx 230 packages |
41 |
|
42 |
KDM starts and presents me with a default login screen but it has no |
43 |
box, everything is 100% transparent to the background apart from the |
44 |
witting and logos. |
45 |
|
46 |
As I type to login I get no text but I can login to my default fluxbox. |
47 |
|
48 |
When I do, gkrellm shows an outline but is 100% transparent, right |
49 |
clicking for menus causes a menu title to come up but all options are |
50 |
invisible + the screen numbers overlay one gets overwritten by two etc |
51 |
etc and ends up as a confused mess. |
52 |
|
53 |
** Help ** |
54 |
|
55 |

57 |
