 Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2020 1:39 am Post subject: [SOLVED] USE flag X for wayland? |
 |
|
After a long absence, I installed Gentoo over the last few days (systemd profile) and then installed wayland and sway. Its all [sortof] working, and I even managed to install firefox from source.
2 questions:
- I have my USE flags set to "wayland". Should I include "X" or perhaps "-X"? Its not clear to me how those two flags correspond
- I don't have symbols (unicode?) characters working in my terminal (alacritty) or Neovim, though fonts work great in firefox. You'll notice the blocks in my quotes below. I also don't have symbols in sway (I added them to the status bar, but they don't show up).

Hi gevious,
welcome back to Gentoo! 
I guess a few USE flags are missing on your machine. 'default/linux/amd64/17.1/systemd/desktop' would be the right profile, but it doesn't exist.
You will roughly get the profile 'default/linux/amd64/17.1/systemd/desktop' if you perform the steps below:
- Run
| Code: | | emerge --update --deep --newuse -av @world |
and make sure that it doesn't show any packages that need to be updated. Otherwise update the packages and repeat this step.
Temporarily switch to the profile 'default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop'
Run | Code: | | emerge --update --deep --newuse -pv @world |
Look for USE flags that would be added. But DON'T emerge those packages!
Switch back to your profile 'default/linux/amd64/17.1/systemd'
Add the USE flags your found to your make.conf.
Please post the USE flags.
Run | Code: | | emerge --update --deep --newuse -av @world |
to rebuild packages with the USE flags you added.
| Quote: | | I have my USE flags set to "wayland". Should I include "X" or perhaps "-X"? Its not clear to me how those two flags correspond |
I think you will need both. Some programs run in Wayland mode, some in X mode. Some programs support both modes. You can select the mode using environment variables at run-time.

Please add the USE flags for the desktop profile first. It will probably solve the problem. If the problem persists, we can further investigate this. |

Hi Mike155,
Thanks for your reply. Clever idea to find out what USE flags I'd need
After running that check, here are the new USE flags I've added to my make.conf

I'm going to install the 98 new packages tonight, and let will post back if the unicode issue is solved.
Also, I noticed that dpath wasn't working in sway without USE="X", so I |

| Thank you for all your help. Adding those USE flags solved the issue. Its not clear exactly which ones did the trick, but probably not worth the time to figure it out. |
