[SOLVED] SystemD softblocking necessary installs

[makefile]

Hello,

I have been trying to install several different WM/DEs and other applications that run on startup but fail every time because sys-apps/systemd and sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration blocks necessary ebuilds.

I have looked far and wide and not found a fix for this. It's also worth mentioning also that I am a Gentoo beginner.

Cheers!

Please show the emerge command and output you are trying to run along with emerge --info

[makefile]

I am logged in with Links now, I will try to find a way of piping the output into the browser.

The tool wgetpaste is helpful here as it can pipe output to a paste site and give you a link to share with us. e.g. wgetpaste -i -c "$emergeCommand"

These are the outputs for the emerge evocations.

You added the systemd USE to sys-apps/dbus in package.use. Undo that.

In addition, it is better to set VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf than install x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa. Most people won't want vesa these days anyway (does not work on modern machines).

makefile,

first of all: Welcome to Gentoo Forums!

You try to install the xorg-server ... that means you want a desktop (or WM) ... but you dont have selected a desktop Profile (only a server Profile):

Code: Select all

Portage 3.0.77 (python 3.13.11-final-0, default/linux/amd64/23.0

Maybe you are interested in this article:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... _at_Gentoo
in particular this chapter:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... _of_Gentoo
Check out the use flags marked in red ...

I see also this setting:

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"

Maybe you want change in your /etc/portage/make.conf:

Code: Select all

COMMON_FLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:A ... d_CXXFLAGS )

You have a strong CPU with 64 GB RAM ... so maybe you want use in your /etc/portage/make.conf:

Code: Select all

MAKEOPTS="-j12"

(speeds up your compilation)

Thank you very much. That seems to have solved it for now.

Hey, thank you for the warm welcome. I had typos in make.conf. Fixing them right now. Thank you for your tips!
