As I posted in another thread, after successfully updating to gnome-3.8 |
2 |
on a virtual gentoo machine that's been running systemd for months, I |
3 |
tackled my openrc gentoo virtual machine just to see if I could do it. |
4 |
|
5 |
I just did it :) Gnome-3.8 is running on the openrc machine without |
6 |
running systemd at all. |
7 |
|
8 |
However, gnome-3.8 *does* require systemd to be installed because it |
9 |
has officially replaced the udev project. (All of the udev files are |
10 |
now installed by the systemd package.) |
11 |
|
12 |
Also, very important, you must set the systemd useflag globally or the |
13 |
conflicts between packages and useflags will drive you insane (like me). |
14 |
|
15 |
Another problem I've noted is that I've had a few unexplained freezes |
16 |
when the VBox guests are running kernel 3.10.3, and backing down to |
17 |
kernel 3.9.11-r1 seems to avoid those, but that's just my impression, |
18 |
nothing more. (I'm running 3.9.11-gentoo-r1 on both host machines because |
19 |
the ati-drivers and nvidia-drivers won't compile against 3.10.x the |
20 |
last time I checked.) |

|
22 |
Please note: I have done only superficial testing on the openrc machine, |
23 |
and I would not recommend that you try this trick on any machine you |
24 |
really need to be solid! This is just me playing around with stuff |
25 |
that is not supported by the gentoo devs. Be warned! |

27 |
I'm going to test cinnamon next, and I'll post results in a day or |
28 |
two. |
