What I remembered existing but didn't actually remember was
| Code: | find /etc -name '._cfg????_*'
/etc/portage/._cfg0000_package.accept_keywords
/etc/conf.d/._cfg0000_xdm |
maybe etc-update is more like ...
| Code: | | find /etc -name '._cfg????_*' -exec rm {} \; |
?
Looks scary to me. They're only 2 files. I removed 'em by hand.
I guess I could just run |

Actually, I think you wanted to keep the changes. etc-update gives you a menu and a diff I never looked at the code.
When diffs are complex, I often run etc-update just get the tmp file name, then run "meld" to see the changes in context and choose the ones I want to keep. I'd like the program to check if X is running and launch meld by menu, but I'm really a tyro at bash. |

Meanwhile ... back at my original problem ...
| Quote: | | Unfortunately, it seems something did go wrong, so we need to see one [log] for media-libs/mesa. |
So I should
| Code: | | emerge --ask media-libs/mesa |
one more time?
I can do that ... like this ...
| Code: | | wgetpaste -n jfmxl -c emerge --ask media-libs/mesa |
...right? The bull awaits the nod from the torreador. |

Well I thought I'd try ...
| Code: | wsgen jfl # wgetpaste -n jfmxl -c emerge media-libs/mesa -i
/usr/bin/wgetpaste: media-libs/mesa No such file found. |
... so I ran ...
| Code: | | emerge --ask media-libs/mesa |
... thinking to copy the output ... but it overflowed the buffer of my terminal.
So I ran ...
| Code: | | startx -- -keeptty -nolisten tcp > ~/.xsession-errors 2>&1 |
... and then ...
| Code: | | cat ~/.xsession-errors |

Just a quick tip not entirely apropos the main subject at hand: find -iname '*mesa*' -path '*log*' produces the same results, is clearer, and quicker to type. |

Persist and you shall overcome....well, at least in most of the cases. 
Anyway, equery is from app-portage/gentolkit, a go-to gentoo toolset (even if it's only theoretically maintained). Another option is app-portage/portage-utils (those tools have different names/syntax; sometime they work better, sometimes not). Again, a matter of taste.
Just a thought: if you're on openrc, is dbus service running (rc-status) ? Personally, I put in on default, but you might even try for earlier.
If you're on systemd, that's obviously moot, as that one doesn't work without dbus.
Oh, and a little thing: on openrc you might need consolekit - that thing is a bit annoying, but otherwise much group tweaking is necessary. |

jfmxl,
| Code: | find /etc -name "._cfg????*"
/etc/portage/package.use/._cfg0000_iputils |
tells that your system needs a USE flag change for the iputils package.
Its wort determining if you want do to the changes on iputils alone, or if it would be beter system wide.
If its system wide, it goes in make.conf, not /etc/portage/package.use/
In turn, that begs the question of your profile setting.

OK, I ran ...
| Code: | | emerge --ask app-portage/gentoolkit |
... and
| Code: | wgetpaste -n jfmxl -c 'equery f media-libs/mesa' -i
Your paste can be seen here: https://bpaste.net/show/ffecb62db029 |
The single-quotes in 'equery f media-libs/mesa' did the trick ... so maybe I can re-emerge mesa-libs/media whatever it was if still required.
| Code: | rc-status
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
Runlevel: default
syslog-ng [ started ]
sshd [ started ]
net.enp1s0 [ started ]

OK, contents of /etc/portage/portage.use/iputils ...
| Code: | | net-misc/iputils -caps -filecaps |
... and contents of /etc/portage/portage.use/._cfg0000_iputils

# required by www-client/firefox-38.1.1::gentoo
# required by www-client/firefox (argument)
>=dev-lang/python-2.7.9-r1:2.7 sqlite |
So, what I do is ...
| Code: | etc-update
Scanning Configuration files...
The following is the list of files which need updating, each
configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files.
1) /etc/portage/package.use/iputils (1)
Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number.
(don't use -3, -5, -7 or -9 if you're unsure what to do)
(-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all files)
(-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i')
(-7 to discard all updates)
(-9 to discard all updates AND not use 'rm -i'): |
... choose 3 ?
Or what is this business about USE flags and /etc/portage/make.conf ?
My profile setting was the one that ended in 'desktop' or 'workststation', without the gnome|kde appended.
Thanks to everyone who's given me advice. As you can see, I need all I can get. |

I figured that out ... theres only the 1) file to edit so choosing it or not you get it if you do not choose -1, as I had done previous, but just hit enter or 1.
Then comes the permuted choices and I chose to merge the diffs - what ever number that was, not 3 - and ended up choosing the new file over the old.
So now I should be able to emerge firefox ... and I'll give it a try. Takes way longer to compile than a mere kernel, I'm told. It's off and running ... |

Well, it seems /usr/lib64/dri/radeonsi_dri.so exists...- verify it really does (same with /usr/lib64/mesa/radeonsi_dri.so symlink).
Add dbus to default runlevel. Make sure it started.
(xfce might be starting it on its own, but it's better to be explicit here )
Pastebin new xorg log. |

jfmxl,
| emerge --info: | | Portage 2.2.20.1 (python 3.4.1-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop, gcc-4.8.4, glibc-2.20-r2, 4.0.5-gentoo x86_64) |
Shows your profile to be default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop which is a good choice.
Further down your USE= shows all the system wide USE flags from your profile and from your make.conf. They all look reasonable too.
There is nothing right/wrong here. Its your setup for making your distro your way.
| /etc/portage/portage.use/._cfg0000_iputils: | net-misc/iputils -caps -filecaps
# required by www-client/firefox-38.1.1::gentoo
# required by www-client/firefox (argument)
>=dev-lang/python-2.7.9-r1:2.7 sqlite |
This is a temporary file, not yet part of your settings.
It says that you need dev-lang/python-2.7.9-r1 or later, in slot 2.7, emerged with sqlite support to have iputils installed.
This is the minimum change you need. If you decide that sqlite is a verygoodthing, you can add support for it globally instead of just for >=dev-lang/python-2.7.9-r1
To do that you would add sqlite to the USE in make.conf
To check out what would happen, you can look at the output of | Code: | | USE=sqlite emerge -uDNpv @world |
The -p is very imortant.
Packages with the green sqlite* in the output, accept the sqlite USE flag and will be rebuilt if you make it global.
Actually running an emerge with command line USE flags is a bad thing as partage will have no knowledge of them for your next emerge.

I think i'm out of the woods with x & xfce ...

* service dbus added to runlevel default |
...
| Code: | wgetpaste -n jfmxl -c cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log -i
Your paste can be seen here: https://bpaste.net/show/fec42547a519 |
I haven't actually looked at that log ... if it works I'm happy. I will read it now, though. It's actually much easier reading at pastebin.
Yes, things are going pretty well now, thanks to you and to NeddySeagoon and Andy P. and Tony09-45 and all others.
Firefox and Thunderbird ... which seems to call itself early bird now? at least it still answers to thunderbird when you emerge it.
I have java and i2p and jEdit ... it's getting to feel like home on wsgen, although wsdeb still has all the goods.
I can get from wsdeb to here but not from wsgen to there ... I think its the bridge I installed for qemu/kvm on wsdeb ... so I'm emerging qemu here and will duplicate the bridge configuration ... if I can discover the gentoo equivalent of debian's /etc/network/interfaces. Then get nfs up between the two machines so I can access all the stuff left behind on two drives in wsdeb.
But I am feeling much better. I even emerged layman ... but its version 2.0 and all the docs talk about version 2.2 and 2.3 so I'll have to figure out how to update an installed ... package, I guess.
Thanks again, you all, for all your help. If you see anything alarming in the last log feel free to let me know  And I'm still not clear on the difference between portage.use and make.conf use ... but firefox did emerge ... and thunderbird took longer to compile, about an hour versus an hour and a half. If I have more trouble ... that is when i have more trouble, I'll start new threads 
When I'm feelin' real good with gentoo here I'll go back and gentoofy wsdeb and be systemd free ! Then I'll look into vdev as a replacement for udev.
Thanks again for all the fish, but especially for the fishing lesson. |

jfmxl,
Your log looks OK. There is one more check. Look in dmesg for any messages about firmware failing to load.
Radeon works without firmware, so Xorg.0.log will be OK, but there will be no 3D hardware acceleration.
I use xfce without dbus here but I'm an oddball :)
The only program I have that complains is Virtualbox-bin.

Void Mage wanted the output from
| Code: | | emerge -akt media-libs/mesa |
No danger running that multiple times, is there ?
| Code: | | wgetpaste -n jfmxl -c emerge --ask media-libs/mesa -i |
wouldn't run for me last time. Maybe
| Code: | | wgetpaste -n jfmxl -c 'emerge media-libs/mesa' -i |
? There is a lot of output from that one. |

jfmxl,
| dmesg: | | [ 3.311106] [drm] Loading kaveri Microcode |
Is your firmware loading.
You don't have selinux unless you explicitly set it up. You may have kernel support for it but its not doing anything without all the userspace support.
xfsettingsd is not used unless you are using the xfs filesystem.
If you use xfs, you need a UPS and current backups. Its very intolerant of unclean shutdowns as it it keeps a lot of info in RAM that needs to be commited to disc.
That vanishes on power fail and leaves the filesystem in a bit of a mess. The UPS allows a controlled shutdown.
