I have none of the kaccount-* installed.

Spectacle: I have masked: >=kde-apps/spectacle-24.05.2. Version 23.08.5 works fine.
But I prefer the old ksnap which is a lot better. Still works

Same for gwenview: masked >=kde-apps/gwenview-24.08.1 and use version 28.08.0-r1

Also watch out media-libs ...

Somehow I knew that plasma 6 will be a bother. So here is what I did to stay with plasma 5.
I hope this may help you in some way to go back to plasma-5.

First I made an unmask list for the installed plasma-5 packages:
qlist -IS kde-plasma/* | grep :5 > /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde ...

@Blind_Sniper
The patches, applied exactly as you describe, work here, even for the latest 23.04.3
I can run all three apps with su, su -, sudo and kdesu
See screenshot

You need to apply this patch to each of kde-apps/{kate,kate-lib,kwrite}

Try this, but replace "~/tmp/prime95/" with your own prime95 directory.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/xdotool

that (both code fragments) does not work. it starts mprime and thats it
Needs one more "sleep" and a "Return" at the end.

1997 Slackware from magazine CD.
1998 SUSE from boxed 6 CD package (version 5.3, I think). Had lots of software including the sources.
2003 Gentoo. (I had ADSL connection by then). Stayed with Gentoo ever since.

Root patch for {kate,kwrite}-22.08.3

proteusx

It's intentional, look this commit and bug #873190 .
Thank you for the reply.
I had already seen that bug report but It does not say why USE="seccomp" must be applied in all cases.
Also, if the ebuild specifies unconditionally REQUIRED_USE="caps seccomp", doesn't this make the option seccomp (and ...

Your problems as well as solutions are automatically invalid inside this forum.

Nice!

Hu.

I have /tmp and /run mounted on tmpfs and I am using openrc-0.17
So there is no need for tmpfiles.
And with vitrual/tmpfiles in "package.provided" there are no side effects whatsoever for nearly 5 years.

The maintainers can package whatever "systemd-style" nonsense they like.
Equally I can ...

virtual/tmpfiles is the root of all evil but we do not really need it.

Fortunately I saw this before it caused me any grief.
Whenever I see *systemd* in the emerge list I scrutinize it.

The recent crops of developers ought to heed the age old maxim: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Tidying up the code should be of lower priority than not pissing off the users.

Then don't use -N/-U. It's that simple, really.
That is beside the point.

In Gentoo one can do whatever one likes; so besides your suggestion, one has other options to circumvent such irksome and needless changes.

Besides KERNEL="-linux%", there are also ELIBC="-Free_BSD%" and USERLAND="-GNU% -BSD%" causing needless rebuilding.

It seems to me that someone has nothing better to do than to tinker with portage just to annoy me.

You can generate a mask list from the output of genlop.
genlop -ln --date today | cut -c35- | sed '/^\s*$/d;s/^/=/' > /etc/portage/package.mask/tmp.mask
And then emerge world.

BTW, you can exclude whole categories from emerge. Not documented but very useful. For Example:
