Hey.
It's my first gentoo install and I got literally everything setup like I had on arch except I cant run emacs. If I launch it from a launcher like rofi, interrobang, dmenu etc etc then I get an error: "emacs: standard input is not a tty". What is the problem and how can I fix it? I'd really appreciate if anyone helps me out. Thanks |

goingfast ... something of a guess: by default app-editors/emacs doesn't have x11/gtk+ useflags enabled, so while you may expect the launcher to launch the full, all bells and whistles, "emacs", the minimal build you have installed expects to be run in a terminal (and so have a tty).
best ... khay |

I checked "equery uses emacs" and it shows that its installed with "gtk gtk3 acl alsa inotify jpeg png ssl systemd threads xft xpm zlib" flags |

| after hours of headache I figured it out. The USE flags were enabled, but they werent installed. So new question is whats the correct procedure to add a new USE flag and update the packages? I did emerge -avDuN <package>. had to do emerge -1 <package> to fix my issue |

goingfast ... if you provide '-u,--update' and no "update" is available, then there is nothing in atom to merge. Generally to have use changes selected, you would use '--changed-use', or '--newuse', eg:
| Code: | | # emerge --oneshot --ask --changed-use app-editors/emacs |
'--changed-use' is not strictly needed here (it's most often used with a @set ... eg, @world), as 'emerge -1 <package>' is enough (as your experience shows).
