 |
|
Hey everyone. I was able to successfully install Gentoo with a tweaked kernel onto my system and it runs fine. The only problem is that when I tried to emerge xorg-server it gave me some strange errors. The same thing happened when i tried to emerge xorg-x11.
I have posted my /etc/make.conf file in pastebin at this link:
http://pastebin.com/f7effcc23
and the errors that I received when i tried to emerge xorg-x11:
http://pastebin.com/f4459fcaf
any ideas on how I should go about fixing this problem?

emerge -C sys-fs/e2fsprogs sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs && emerge xorg-server

Whoa, wait a minute unmerging e2fsprogs and e2fsprogs-libs will kill the networking.
emerge --fetch e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs
first. |

| Sure xorg-x11 will pull in xorg-server as a dependency, as well as pull in some other handy x11 apps. |

g0vernurh0st / # emerge --fetch e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs
Usage: emerge [options]
emerge: error: ambiguous option: --fetch (--fetch-all-uri, --fetchonly?) |

There is no need to emerge either one explicitly. As long as your useflags are set right, you will pull in all the needed X packages when you emerge the stuff you actually want, like openbox or kdebase-meta. That being said, xorg-server is just the server with its direct dependencies, while xorg-x11 is a meta package that will pull in all of X.org, including a lot of stuff you probably don't need.

well if i ever need any of those extras later on, will I be able to emerge them without having to install X all over again? |

Yep, you can either merge them individually, or snag that fat package.
Now we need somebody to help you with your X freezing problem  |
