Hi folks,
I have emerged gnome-3.2 pn my gentoo box. Before I began to install, I disable the bluetooth USE in my /etc/make.conf because my notebook doesn't support bluetooth. But it seems without bluetooth USE, I could not emerge gnome-base/gnome-core-apps. With the bluetooth USE in gnome-base/gnome-core-apps, I have to install gnome-bluetooth and obexd which are really useless for me. Is there any method to avoid the installation of packages required by the bluetooth USE dependency?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Gnome 3 without bluetooth support
IMO, this is the same story as getting gnome without pulse audio, so most likely there's no way without patching sources....geraint0923 wrote:Hi folks,

I really can not understand why the bluetooth is a mandatory for Gnome even when it is installed on a bluetooth-non-support device. I don't really want to install useless software on my Gentoo box.
Maybe I should give KDE a try sometime.

But you can edit the ebuild.geraint0923 wrote:I really can not understand why the bluetooth is a mandatory for Gnome even when it is installed on a bluetooth-non-support device. I don't really want to install useless software on my Gentoo box.
You must install the XFCE!geraint0923 wrote:Maybe I should give KDE a try sometime.
Re: Gnome 3 without bluetooth support
Either is fine, compared to Gnome 3 they're both lightweight, bloat-free, sane desktops.ultraincognito wrote:You must install the XFCE!geraint0923 wrote:Maybe I should give KDE a try sometime.
