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 |
