My 3-year old gentoo system has decided to be a big headache. My |
| 2 |
troubles started when I upgraded to kde 3.4. The kde taskbar apps |
| 3 |
wouldn't start. I tried unmerging kde-base and emerging kdebase-meta |
| 4 |
to see if it was related to the kde split, but that didn't help. I got |
| 5 |
the idea that the problem was some old kde packages, so I tried unmerging |
| 6 |
everything on my system which was kde related, including some old packages |
| 7 |
which are no longer in portage, then I reemerged everything. THis was |
| 8 |
a big mistake as afterwards kde was even more broken, and kde apps like |
| 9 |
k3b now don't even work. I've given up on kde and moved to enlightenment, |
| 10 |
but it will be really hard to deal without any kde apps. Lots of people have |
| 11 |
given me advice, but everything I try just seems to make things worse. It |
| 12 |
seems like there is something about old versions of kde that won't go away, |
| 13 |
which I don't understand at all. It seems like if you reemerge something it |
| 14 |
should move to the newest versions. I really could use some help because |
| 15 |
I have no idea what to do next. |
