 Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2005 4:47 am Post subject: HowTo? - completely remove gnome??? |
 |
|
I thought I'd give gnome 2.10 a try, and it borked my kde 3.4 install (menu is totally hosed, lost my control center, etc...) and really, I just want to get rid of it. If the fork comes (as one of the devs mentioned in a blog i read linked from slashdot) then I may reconsider, but I'm just not happy with it right now.
So, i want to remove it from my system, but if I do:
| Code: | | emerge --unmerge gnome |
Then I only get the main gnome entry off... i still have epiphany and all the other gnome control tools.
so, what's the secret? How do I get rid of it totally?
and please, no flames... i'd rather use something lightweight like fluxbox, or xfce maybe, but my wife shares this, and I'm just thankful she likes this better than MS Win.
Thanks in advance for any help!

emerge --depclean -pv | less
Go through the list, make sure there isn't anything you actually want unrelated to gnome (if there is, add it to /var/lib/portage/world and test again), and then actually run the command.
BE CAREFUL. You could kill some really important packages with this command.

Go through the list and unmerge them all this is based on 2.8 mind you but im pretty sure they should still be the same.
and yes i have copies of KDE and XFCE as well i like to keep a record of what is in my machine  |

Try this:
| Code: |
# qpkg -I -nc gnome | xargs emerge -C
|
That should do it for any package with "gnome" in the name. You can then try "revdep-rebuild" to see which packages you broke by unmerging all the gnome libraries, then unmerge those too. There are probably a few ways to do what you want to do...

Try using "qpkg -f /path/to/file" to find out which packages owns the binary in question.
From "man qpkg":
| Code: |
-f, --find-file Finds package that owns file <file>
|

Did you use the full path to the file? not just "ggv" but "/usr/bin/ggv" or whatever.

| Code: | philslaptop png # qpkg -vv -f /usr/X11R6/bin/eog
philslaptop png # qpkg -vv -f /usr/X11R6/bin/eog
philslaptop png # qpkg -vv -f /usr/X11R6/bin/eog |
no such beans. I can of course erase eog, but that's not fun. I want to figure the number of stranded files. I run revdep-rebuild and i get a ton of entries. |

qpkg is deprecated, use "equery b /path/to/file"
There is also the blinding fast etool
"etool -f /path/to/file" |

Thanks for the info. Just out of curiosity, where did you see that qpkg was deprecated? This is the first I hear of it.

My system has the first file, but does not have
/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
--is it supposed to?

I think you won't have this file unless you have gnome 2.10 installed, and I suppose you don't have problem with KDE menus either. The /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu is relevant only when Gnome overtakes your KDE applications menu. |

I rarely use Gnome, but I do have gnome-base/gnome-light in
my "world" file. Moreover
| Code: | % equery which gnome
/usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome/gnome-2.10.1_pre0.ebuild |
I don't understand why my system doesn't have
/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu,
but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

That is probably not an error because gtk+ is a useflag for gcc
| Code: | emerge -pv gcc
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4 [3.4.3-r1] (-altivec) -bootstrap -boundschecking -build +fortran -gcj +gtk -hardened -ip28 +multilib -multislot (-n32) (-n64) +nls -nocxx -nopie -nossp -objc -static -vanilla 27,036 kB
|
So it appease gcc can be installed with gtk+ support which would mean gtk+ it a dependancy of gcc |

yeah, but it IS compiled with -GTK, as all other software on my PC, so - it should not mention it, i guess... |
