Hi,
I am trying to install Gnome 3 on my Gentoo 3.8.13 x86_64. For this reason I emerge layman. But I am unable to add gnome overlay.


Code:
sudo layman -a gnome

 * Adding overlay,...
 * Warning: an installed db file was not found at: ['/var/lib/layman/installed.xml']
 * Warning: an installed db file was not found at: ['/var/lib/layman/cache_ac494f50f5736be7871962c0dec7b3bb.xml']
 * Exception: Overlay "gnome" does not exist.
 * CLI: Errors occurred processing action add
 * Exception: Overlay "gnome" does not exist.



Thanks in advance.

hmm, did you add the "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" line to your /etc/portage/make.conf file?

Did you run
Code:
layman -f
# or
layman -L


I believe that you did not, so it didn't have the repositories.xml file downloaded from the gentoo server which would have caused the
Code:
  * Warning: an installed db file was not found at: ['/var/lib/layman/cache_ac494f50f5736be7871962c0dec7b3bb.xml']
 * Exception: Overlay "gnome" does not exist.


So run one of the above commands, then
Code:
layman -i gnome
layman -a gnome



if you haven't added any overlays, then it won't have an installed.xml file, so don't worry about that one

OK, your almost there, it's just that your connection timed out before it could clone the overlay.
Code:
fatal: unable to connect to git.overlays.gentoo.org:
git.overlays.gentoo.org[0: 94.100.119.163]: errno=Connection timed out
a few other errors occurred due to that
It happens from time to time depending on the server load, etc. It happens for sync's at times too.

Try adding it again, it should successfully add it.
