[SOLVED]Slot conflict when installing gnome 3.2.1

[aortell24]

Hello all I am having a nightmare trying to install gnome 3.2.1 .I have reinstalled twice now thinking i made a mistake along the way some where but the same every time it is always s (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages) i don't know what to please help me I used to us Gentoo I never had such a hard time before every time I emerge one of the packages another one come up .Please help.

[aortell24]

It may be possible to solve this problem by using the package.mask to prevent one of these packages from being selected.However, it also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependeces of two different
packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously . you may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option,such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically.
I dont understand what this is telling me to do it only shows two packages this time its (dev-libs/libxm12-2.9.0-rc1) but the package dont seam to be important if I install it another comes up.

Clairvoyance is not a common trait among humans, also stop opening new threads if you don't bother providing info in the old ones.

[aortell24]

what info should i post I have never come across this problem before. I apologize I am just frustrated with this please let me know what to post.What is total it is not a command.

[VoidMage]

I was referring to one of the last lines of emerge output, unless there are any problems.

[aortell24]

(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)
dev-libs/libxm12:2

(dev-libs/libxm12-2.8.0_rc1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
dev-libs/libxml2[python] required by(media-libs/mesa-7.11.2::gentoo,ebuild scheduled for merge)

>=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.12[python] required by(app-text/gnome-doc-utils-0.20.10::gentoo,ebuild scheduled for merge)
after that the paragraph It may be possible to solve : is displayed its the one I posted before. Thanks .

[aortell24]

I think I might be getting somewhere I just emerge >=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.1 with the python flag set . Now it displays udev and gudev like it did with python

so I emerged udev with the gudev flag set and it is emerging 72 packages so I guess i will see if this works Hopfully

[aortell24]

How do you guys post the entire emerge output.All I ever get is the end.I tried piping it to less but I still don't know how you guys manage to post it.i read somewhere else to install with the plain profile in till you are ready to install xorg i am going to give that a try something different It has to be something I am doing wrong.

[aortell24]

has anyone come across this before I am still unable to install gnome no matter what I try It always results in this problem I used Gentoo a lot before the slots were used.If anyone has come across this before Please let know I am still stuck I have no idea what to do .I really what to start using Gentoo again.Thanks ahead of time.

Here is a like to the exact output I get when I try to emerge gnome light 3.2.1

http://pastebin.com/Nx2gwLhv

Try setting the introspection use flag.
Posting the output of emerge --info would be useful.

[aortell24]

Thank you so much for your response i will do that as soon as I get home.Thanks.

[aortell24]

Here is my emerge info. If I try to redirect the output from my emerge =gnome-light-3.2.12 it only writes the first 2 lines to the file.

[jburns]

From your emerge info your using the fglrx video driver. http://pastebin.com/Nx2gwLhv shows that x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.40 and media-video/nvidia-settings-260.19.29 are installed. You should unmerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers and media-video/nvidia-settings.

In your emerge info you have INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev", keyboard mouse normally not needed since they have been replaced by evdev. You could check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if keyboard mouse are used. This should not be causing any problems but you are building two drivers that are not used.

[aortell24]

I found the problem but I am not sure how to fix it x11-libs/vte-0.31.0:2.90 is blocking x11-libs/gtk+-3.4.3)
I tried to unmerge vte but portage says it cant find it.

aortell24,

For future reverence

[aortell24]

Hello thanks alot man . You see this what I was talking about the emerge info workrd perfectly but this is all that was in the new file.The same thing that was happening when I redirected it into a file with the> operator. Thanks alot anyway.

[jburns]

Add x11-libs/vte to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords then you should be able to emerge x11-libs/gtk+-3.4.3

[aortell24]

Thank you very much I emerged gtk+-3.4.3 along and it is installing 24 packages. But when I try to install the whole thing gnome-3.2.1-light it still says the same thing which makes no scenes being that its already installed. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

[aortell24]

I just emerged gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.2.2.1 and 149 packages are installing I think using auto-unmask-write just unmasked too much .I am not sure i will see how this goes.Thanks a lot jburns for the suggestions I really appreciate it, and BillWho for the command that will be very helpful in the future.

[aortell24]

I installed X-org I am using twm and xterm with fglrx drivers and xinerama running right now .I had to install a window manager just to see the entire output from the emerge command .Thanks though .I just got a message from someone else having the same problem also.

[aortell24]

Ok I basically got everything installed beside (gnome-terminal, and vte).It still says vte is blocking gtk+-3 .I would like to have gnome-terminal.Any suggestions?

[BillWho]

aortell24,

If you want a good terminal emerge x11-terms/terminator
