 |
|
Hello,
I have emerged wayland but Mate didn't work and changed to Xorg, but no changes.
I am trying to start GUI from console
startx >
startx command not found.
What logs do I need to provide ?
Added dbus in startup.
Changed FILE ~/.xinitrc
exec mate-session
But no changes. |

wayland is not a program so you can not "install" it. It is an protocol that is implemented by compositors like Sway. But Mate brings no compositor that implements wayland.
> and changed to Xorg
Are you sure you emerged x11-base/xorg-server? Looks very much like you didn't. |

Yes, i emerged xorg-server. This is not my first attempt to install Gentoo.
I know what's wayland, I changed USE flag from wayland to X, and re-emerged world, OK ? |

However, for the sake of confusion, there does exist a Gentoo package dev-libs/wayland, so it is actually possible for a user to emerge wayland and have something happen. That something may not be useful, but a user who says "I have emerged wayland" can be literally correct. |
