I upgraded my xorg-x11 the other day. I followed the upgrade how-to, and |
| 2 |
everything seemed to go fine. However when I rebooted it was screwed up. |
| 3 |
The xorg.conf was a mess. I tried fixing it from memory but I couldn't sort |
| 4 |
it, and I'd forgoten to make a back up MY FAULT. Anyway I downgraded to |
| 5 |
xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 and got x back and sorted out the problem with the |
| 6 |
xorg.conf and made a backup. I then attempted another go at upgrading and |
| 7 |
here's the problem. I follow the guide again and after 'emerge xorg-x11' it |
| 8 |
says there is nothing to download, compiles nothing, cleans up and claims it |
| 9 |
is done. I wasn't convinced, however I tried rebooting. No X, so I logged |
| 10 |
in and issued 'startx', nothing so I checked '/usr/bin/startx', it's not |
| 11 |
there, clearly it hadn't installed x So back to xorg-x11-6.8.2.-r8. I've |
| 12 |
tried another emerge --sync to see if that would fix the problem but no joy. |
| 13 |
So the question is, how do I force portage to down load and recompile the |
| 14 |
packages from scratch? |
