Please help, I have managed to really screw up my second gentoo box, |

|

** How I did it ** |
4 |
|
5 |
Well, I tried emergeing gnome, liked the look of it but then it appeared |
6 |
to crash, all icons on the desktop went & the bottom taskbar stopped |
7 |
working. |
8 |
|
9 |
Going into KDE all the K menus appeared messed up ie no kcontrol but |
10 |
quite a few gnome icons and apps. |
11 |
|
12 |
Not having emerge sync, emerge -e world for some time I did an emerge |
13 |
sync, system runs 247 so its not a problem. |
14 |
|
15 |
I had previously written a bash script to run through all the packages |
16 |
on the system & re-emerge them skipping any packages that have problems |
17 |
emergeing. Its still got approx 250 to go kde edu etc ... |
18 |
|
19 |
Has worked great in the past. |

** Whats happened ** |
22 |
|
23 |
Well what hasnt :( |
24 |
|
25 |
The kernel boots, all services start, X starts and the xorg logs look |
26 |
OK, etc-update showed no updates needed, weird since I have now emerged |
27 |
approx 230 packages |
28 |
|
29 |
KDM starts and presents me with a default login screen but it has no |
30 |
box, everything is 100% transparent to the background apart from the |
31 |
witting and logos. |
32 |
|
33 |
As I type to login I get no text but I can login to my default fluxbox. |
34 |
|
35 |
When I do, gkrellm shows an outline but is 100% transparent, right |
36 |
clicking for menus causes a menu title to come up but all options are |
37 |
invisible + the screen numbers overlay one gets overwritten by two etc |
38 |
etc and ends up as a confused mess. |
