Installation of Xorg-server & Xfce

[emochi]

Hello.
I am installing a Gentoo Linux Xfce in the virtual environment of the VMware Workstation 12 Pro.
It is a situation that can not be the installation of Xorg-server & Xfce.
For a successful installation of Xorg-server & Xfce, does it is I can do.
Please give me advice. very helpful.
Thank you.

[NeddySeagoon]

emochi,

Run lspci in your gentoo guest in VMWorkstation.
That will show you the hardware that VMWorkstation pretends to have for the Guest.

Install Xorg following the Xorg Guide.
Install for the Guest hardware.
Hint: You will need the vmware video driver.

Do not skip the test with twm, xterm and xclock.

Once the above works, follow the Xfce4 guide.

[emochi]

I received your reply, Thank you very much.
# emerge sys-fs/lsscsi
# emerge twm xclock xterm
# emerge mesa

It ran the above command.
I was able to install all.

It ran the above command.
These could not be installed.
I get a message that "USE changes".

It is the current setting of the USE flags.

emochi,

I get a message that "USE changes".

I guess that portage is saying that it cannot install one or more packages because there are USE flags either not set when they are needed or set when they must not be.
Please post the entire message.

Many USE flags are set correctly when you make the correct choice of profile.

Code: Select all

eselect profile list

will list all the available profiles and show the active one with a * next to it.
What is your active profile.
Everything else you posted looks good.

emochi,

The two parts co the message below are separate.

Code: Select all

# required by x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.17:: gentoo [video_cards_vmware]
# required by x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.4:: gentoo [xorg]
# required by x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.9.1:: gentoo
>=media-libs/mesa-11.0.6 xa 

The part above shows that mesa needs to be compiled with USE=xa and gives the reason.

Code: Select all

# required by x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware-13.1.0:: gentoo
# required by x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.17:: gentoo [video_cards_vmware]

# required by x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.9.1:: gentoo
>=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.65 libkms 

Similarly, libdrm needs USE=libkms

Autounmask has saved the required changes to your system, to make them take effect, you need to update the configuration files.
Portage should have given you a notice about that.

However there is a common package that you do not need.

Code: Select all

# required by x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse

In the list

Code: Select all

INPUT_DEVICES=”edev keyboard mouse” 

only evdev is needed.
Remove both keyboard and mouse.
INPUT_DEVICES=”mouse" causes drivers/xf86-input-mouse to be installed, which is the common package causing your issue.

INPUT_DEVICES=”evdev" covers keyboards and mice.

[emochi]

Hello.
I was able to install the "xorg-server & xf86-video-vmware".
I thank that we received precious your professor.
The desktop of the environment, I want to install "Xfce".

[NeddySeagoon]

emochi,

Enjoy your Gentoo :)

[emochi]

Hello.

Setting of USEflag
root # nano -w /etc/portage/make.conf

Edit as described below, it added.
USE="-gnome -kde -minimal -qt4 dbus jpeg lock session startup-notification thunar udev X"
XFCE_PLUGIN="brightness clock trash"

I installed the following procedure.
root # emerge --ask xfce-base/xfce4-meta
root # for x in usb cdrom cdrw ; do gpasswd -a username $x ; done
root # env-update && source /etc/profile
root # emerge x11-term/xfce4-terminal

user $ echo “exec startxfce4” > ~/.xinitrc

user $ startxfce4

Gentoo Xfce desktop screen does not respond gone solidified.

Would you have any improvements that can be me.
Thank you for your professor.

[emochi]

Cause of Gentoo Xfce does not start did not know well.
I think there was a cause of something failed in the course of the installation.
Also I would like to create a virtual machine of Gentoo Xfce if there is an opportunity.
I'm really thankful to you.

[NeddySeagoon]

emochi,

That screenshot shows a one time set up screen.
Press enter.

If its stuck, click the button.

If that fails too, there is a problem with user input.

Get control again. Do not start X.

Code: Select all

emerge wgetpaste
wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Thats numeral 0 not letter O.

Post the URL you get back.

You can have a Virtual Machine too.

Thank you very much.

[fedeliallalinea]

Your paste can seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/eae3c87c1d03

It seems that some xorg driver is missing. Try to add this line in make.conf:

Code: Select all

VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev vesa vmware"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse vmmouse"

and then run

Code: Select all

# emerge -ND @world

[NeddySeagoon]

emochi,

[ 67.499] (II) LoadModule: "evdev"
[ 67.499] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module evdev
[ 67.499] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
[ 67.499] (II) Unloading evdev
[ 67.499] (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0)

Tells that xf86-input-evdev is missing. That's the keyboard and mouse driver.
Setting INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" then

Code: Select all

emerge xf86-input-evdev

should make the keyboard and mouse work.

A few posts ago you said you had set INPUT_DEVICES="edev" Notice the missing 'v'

[emochi]

Thank you very much.
Many thanks.

[emochi]

Thanks so much NeddySeagoon.
Thanks so much fedeliallalinea.

Thanks to the advice of everyone, I was able to create a new virtual machine.
I'm really thankful to you.

Sincerely thank.

Hello.

I want to install the "www-client / midori & mail-client / thunderbird" in the virtual machine.
I want to know how to find the settings of USE flags.
Thank you.

[NeddySeagoon]

emochi,

First, choose a desktop profile using

Code: Select all

eselect profile

Next, run

Code: Select all

emerge www-client/midori mail-client/thunderbird -Nvp

Examine the USE settings. If they provide the optional features you want, run the emerge again without the -p
If you need to change some of the optional features, adjust the USE flags to match your requirement.
There is no correct USE flag settings that we can tell you.

[emochi]

Thanks a lot NeddySeagoon.

It may also be worth noting that the package is going away soon (about 30 days from now):

Code: Select all

- www-client/midori-0.5.11-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> (31 Jul 2016)
# Upstream looks completely dead for a long time, doesn't reply to any bug
# we report to them. This relies on obsolete software like (#587448) and
# other bugs are being accumulated without any fix/attention. Removal in a
# month if nobody comes with the fixes.

It is still possible to use the ebuild after it's gone, provided the sources will be available, but it will not come from the Gentoo Portage (an 'overlay' will be needed).

Is this may be referred to anywhere.

How to update the configuration file, "etc-update" Is.

The "(an 'overlay' will be needed)" 'overlay', do you specifically do, regardless of what you do.

When you are using the Mousepad, you get the following message.
"Warning, you are using the root account, you may harm your system."

[emochi]

This thread, I will consider it as the end in this.
Everyone, Thank you.

[Chiitoo]

A new thread for help with other topics will be better, yes, but I will reply to some of the questions here.

"* Sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files."
How to update the configuration file, "etc-update" Is.

An alternative to 'etc-update':

Code: Select all

dispatch-conf

Both are OK.

The "(an 'overlay' will be needed)" 'overlay', do you specifically do, regardless of what you do.

Overlays are explained at our wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay

Note also the Japanese version (78% translated at the time of writing): https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/ja

You will need to use this for software not available via Gentoo Portage, and Midori will be one of those if it is removed after 1 month.

When you are using the Mousepad, you get the following message.
"Warning, you are using the root account, you may harm your system."

Is this message from Xfce?

It is not recommended to run things like Xfce and friends as the 'root' user. It is best to always use a 'normal' user for normal use of the computer.

[emochi]

Thanks for reply Chiitoo.

I ran the following command.

root # emerge --ask --oneshot sys-apps/portage
root # etc-update

Now, the problem has been corrected.
Thanks for your advice.

Using the "Overlay", I think to try to install the midori or chromium.

root # emerge --ask layman
root # echo PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\”\” > /var/lib/layman/make.conf
root # echo “source /var/lib/layman/make.conf” >> /etc/portage/make.conf

root # layman –L
root # layman –a gentoo

Currently, I was able to work up to this point.

Also, please do tell us a lot.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
