I just tried and no luck here either. I made that list back in April |
| 24 |
when plasma made my machine unusable (hence the "might not work now" |
| 25 |
comment.) It's been several months now but I really don't want to go and |
| 26 |
try plasma again and waste days trying to get my machine usable again. |
| 27 |
I'm just not going to do any updates (and I guess I should do a stage4 |
| 28 |
backup in case I have to restore...) |

Right now my machine is nice and stable. What I don't understand is that |
| 31 |
plasma clearly isn't ready for primetime yet (IMHO) yet it seems KDE4 is |
| 32 |
not installable on Gentoo anymore. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I did try many things trying to get plasma working but everything I |
| 35 |
tried had no results. Plasma would crash even if you didn't do anything |
| 36 |
(no keyboard or mouse input.) |
