|
|
Hi everyone,
i had an old Acer Inspiron (7 years old, i7 2nd generation, 8gb DDR2 Ram, 250 Gb SSD + 750 Gb)
I did use GNOME 2 for quite some time. Then i tried GNOME 3 for a couple months, but didn't like it. So, i decided to switch to KDE: first 4 and then plasma. I=t semed nice, but wasn't happy with it.
I bought a RPI 3. I was hoping to replace my Laptop with it. Turns out, i couldn't. It was too slow and the memory was gone too fast, even though i tried and keep the resources consumption at minimum.
That's when i started using i3 and i love it!
I want to get rid KDE. But i'm not sure how.
Do i have to uninstal Qt too? I use networkkmanager.
Which profile should i use? I use systemd. |

Usually you should remove parent package and the use depclean for removing unused dependencies
Code: | # emerge -C gnome-base/gnome
# emerge -C kde-plasma/plasma-meta
# emerge --depclean --ask |
If some dependencies are putted in the world file you should remove even these _________________ Questions are guaranteed in life; Answers aren't. |

If you want systemd you can combine default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop and default/linux/amd64/17.0/systemd profiles _________________ Questions are guaranteed in life; Answers aren't. |

Switch your profile to pure desktop one,
check all USE flags in /etc/portage/* (make.conf, package.use)
check and clean your portage world file (/var/lib/portage/world)
that should help you clean it :) |

thx
i switched to profile 30
and did emerge -aC gnome plasma-meta and emerge -.ac as suggested but i got this:
Code: |
* Have you forgotten to do a complete update prior to depclean? The
* most comprehensive command for this purpose is as follows:
*
* emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world
|
i'll do that, but first i'll start with system |

Bad idea. Notice the news item: 2017-12-26 Experimental amd64 17.1 profiles up for testing
Emphasis on *experimental*.
That aside, a profile switch will always necessitate a world update with -N. This one requires much more. |

After i tried to emerge ncurses, it failed. Something about the profile.
I googled it and found that.
So, i switched to profile 16 (17.0 -> amd64/desktop)
Right now, i've got some problems:
everytime i run emerge -uDNav system, i've got a lot of errors:
-x11-proto packages (i figured it out, why. For some reason, xorg-proto isn't installed. So, now the new one set to emerge is blocking all the x11-proto packges)
It is safe to unemerge this category -> emerge -aC $(qlist -IC x11-proto) ?
Worse case, i screw up X, right?
- systemd: can i just set systemd in make.conf? -> euse -E systemd |

I've read here (German), that there's been a change for Xorg header files from Xorg and gentoo developers, in order to increase its speed and performance.
The new package x11-base/xorg-proto will replace eventually all the x11-proto packages.
Well, what can i said?
I haven't updated my system in almost a year, with exceptions of chromium, thunderbird and firefox |
