You don't need to rebuild your system. Python isn't that essential to anything but portage.

from the info i've showed in my previous post would you say that it is safe to unmerge python-2.4 and leave only 2.5 in my system?

after removing python-2.4 and doing a 'revdep-rebuild' fusion-icon and hence ccsm continues not to work the right way...i can enable compiz but i cannot click into many options of ccsm...

I had that problem to, but didn't appear after unmerging python-2.4. I am using 2.5 for a while. The problem vanished when i remerged a bunch of kde packages including libs, kdebase-startkde, kioslaves, konqueror and lot of others I can't remember. I remerged xorg server to but I wouldn't say it had anything to do with that problem. Tapping on touchpad stopped working also in the same time like ccsm

so that was the reasong for remerging xorg server.

Anyway you could try remering some base kde packages and see if it helps.

thank you...after an 'emerge -e world' and a re-emerge of the compiz packets everything seems to work fine...

isn't there any other solution than an emerge -e world?

if I do that, it tries to emerge 880 packages, which will probably take days...

i am having the same problem of ccsm starting but not being able to open any of the options menus.

thanks

Which version of pyrex do you have installed? Should be 0.9.8.4

0.9.8.3 somewhat broke ccsm for me too, and I had to re-import my config into ccsm. So if you have a backup of your ccsm config, try reimporting it. If not, create a new profile and start over.

Oh thanks so much

i'd had 0.9.8.3

emerged 0.9.8.4 and then compizconfig-python and it all works great now

Hi,

I have a problem with glib being masked by the overlay package.mask , and I can't emerge world :

Code: Select all

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-libs/glib-2.16" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/glib-2.16.3 (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects/profiles/package.mask:
#
# <jmbsviceto@gentoo.org> (9 February 2008)
# glib-2.15 breaks some packages

- dev-libs/glib-2.16.2 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
- dev-libs/glib-2.16.1 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "dev-cpp/glibmm-2.16.1" [ebuild])

Why is a package of the main portage tree masked by the overlay? It sounds, er, questionable that an overlay goes masking packages of the main portage tree, but maybe there are good reasons for that.
What should I do?

Maybe it was unmasked recently from the main portage tree ...
Anyway, you could see why it has been masked directly in the /usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects/profiles/package.mask file.

Enjoy !

All what it says is:

Code: Select all

# glib-2.15 breaks some packages
>=dev-libs/glib-2.15

Some packages? What packages? And why it is masked >=2.15 instead of =2.15, if it's 2.15 the problem?
I would simply comment the line, but for example I'd like to know if glib-2.16 plays bad with CompizFusion SVN, that I use everyday.

Well ... As the description in package.mask is really short (doh !) you can try these :

- quickpkg dev-libs/glib
- unmask >=dev-libs/glib-2.16 in your package.unmask
- upgrade dev-libs/glib and try to compile your dev-cpp/glibmm and CompizFusion SVN packages

If you have some problem with that version go back to your current by removing the glib line on your package.umask then with an emerge -K dev-libs/glib

Hope this helps,

Enjoy !

EDIT : maybe bugzilla is a little more verbose about this mask ...

Thanks for your proposed "solution". But it's not a solution, it's just a "ok, let's see what happens".
I'd expect upstream developers to explain why do they mess with the main portage tree, so that anyone can make up his own mind.
To write "breaks some packages" and let people unable to emerge world is almost insulting.

The bugzilla suggestion is however good, but I cannot find the desktop-effects bugzilla (in fact, I can't find a homepage for the desktop-effects overlay. Only thing I find is the git web interface). If you know the link of their bugzilla, I'd be most pleased.

Thanks!

Anybody else having trouble syncing the desktop-effects overlay?

I have been getting this error message for the last week, and before that, I hadn't synced or updated anything on the system for a month.

Code: Select all

one rob # layman -s desktop-effects
* 
* Errors:
* ------
* 
* Failed to sync overlay "desktop-effects".
* Error was: No such overlay ("desktop-effects")!
*

**EDIT**

SOLVED
I found that 'layman.cfg' had changed the location for the layman files/dir's;
It was # storage : /usr/portage/local/layman
and is now # storage : /usr/local/portage/layman
without any warning in the ebuild.

I don't remember anymore why I masked it, but I'll be looking into it.

In case anyone gets awn and awn-extras breakage, please check this announcement in the awn forum.
If you update the awn/awn-extras packages, you'll need to update the config as explained on the link.

Thanks! Next time it would be nice if you can be a bit more verbose in your package.mask and the like.

Sorry for the delay, but I've been working on other things.
Some of you seem to not have updated in a long while. That mask was removed with this commit done by Ingmar on 11 March as you can see here

Any help is appreciated
Same problem here, a workaround is to compile compiz with the svg USE flag enabled.

Thanks alot for this tip. Worked for me.

I know it has been posted before, but since I couldn't find an answer: are there any plans to update the pyclutter ebuild at least to version 0.5? I recently tried installing Entertainer, which looks very promising, but I couldn't because it requires >=pyclutter-0.5. And since the current pyclutter version also is 0.6, I thought the ebuild should be updated.

Looks like there is a new version of Compiz (0.6) in Portage and it's trying to downgrade my 0.7.6 version to it when I do world............

RealNC · Post by **RealNC** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 4:59 am

Something happened that breaks portage!

Code: Select all

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-main:0

  ('installed', '/', 'x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.6', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'x11-wm/compiz-fusion-0.7.6', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.6.0', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.6.0', 'merge')

x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra:0

  ('installed', '/', 'x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.7.6', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'x11-wm/compiz-fusion-0.7.6', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.6.0', 'merge') (no parents)


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Code: Select all

emerge -C x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
emerge -uNDav world

compiz-fusion-plugins-extra version 0.6 got installed on your system somehow, when it shouldn't have.

RealNC · Post by **RealNC** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:23 am

No, I only have 0.7.6 versions. For quite some time now. This problem came up today just after an emerge --sync and layman -S.
