 |
|
I am running Gnome3 with GDM. I have other DEs as well. Can't seem to get sound working in any DE, but I have sound in GDM. Not sure why. Is it becuase I need to add PulseAudio? I tried following the guide for PulseAudio, but I'm getting stuck on updating changed USE flags because of a blocked package. I get this:
| Code: | Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r9 USE="(-ibm) (-selinux) -static"
[blocks B ] sys-apps/sysvinit ("sys-apps/sysvinit" is blocking sys-apps/systemd-236-r5)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.

It looks like I have a newer version already installed, so it's blocking the installation of the older file. Correct? What do I need to do? I am a little confused by the handbook's page on blocked packages.

No. You do not have any version of sys-apps/sysvinit installed (so if you installed it, it would be New). You cannot install it because you have sys-apps/systemd, so sys-apps/sysvinit is Blocked. For a GNOME3 user (excepting those following dantrell's overlay), having sys-apps/systemd installed is normal and expected. | djentoo wrote: | | What do I need to do?

You need to show us the command you ran, link to the guide you followed, and tell us on which step you are stopped (if it will not be obvious to us on reading the guide). If I were to guess, you should not be installing sys-apps/sysvinit, so we need to figure out why Portage wants to do that. |

I was following the Pulseaudio guide and got stuck after the change use step.
| Code: | | emerge --ask --changed-use --deep @world |
wraeth in IRC suggested removing netifrc. That cleared the block, and I was able to install pulseaudio and alsa.
It appears I have sound now. |
