Problems after world update [Solved]

[azteka22]

ok thx

shuld i do :
rc-update del wicd && rc-update add networkmanager or not?

[azteka22]

i still keep gettin the same message:

localhost ~ # emerge -av =net-misc/networkmanager-0.6.6-r1

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=net-misc/networkmanager-0.6.6-r1".

if you use wicd, yes, you should put back NetworkManager with rc-update.

The problem with NetworkManager is pretty strange, what do you get searching for it doing:

Code: Select all

emerge -s networkmanager


[azteka22]

localhost ~ # emerge -s networkmanager

I'm sorry, but my skill with portage are pretty limited, the strange thing, is that I'm able
to download the 0.6.6 version with the command I gave to you with no problem;

you could try:

Code: Select all

emerge -av '<net-misc/networkmanager-0.7.0'


this should pick a version lower than the 0.7.0 one.

here, I see that the package is available http://gentoo-portage.com/net-misc/networkmanager

You synced correctly with portage using the 'emerge --sync' command?

[azteka22]

ya i also checked the gento portage database and found it. and i installed it now i just did
emerge -av =net-misc/networmanager-0.6.6 (withought the r1) and it worked. it installed it perfectly.
Thank you for all your help micia i really appreciated it!!

[micia]

check if it works before thanking me

Be careful with world updates, often merging all config files lead to problems, double check them;
also entropy now will most likely suggest you to update NetworkManager, you could mask the package
in entropy, but you should read the wiki and get used to entropy before doing this kind of things

Enjoy Sabayon!

(BTW, if it is really solved, please edit the first post of the subject and add [Solved] to the end,
so anyone will be able to find the solution if they have your same problem )

No, it didn't work. I installed networkmanager .0.6.6 but sumhow wicd Is still the default network program. Do I need to erase wicd 2 make networkmanager .0.6.6 my default even tho I already ran rc-update add networkmanager && rc-update del wicd.

If you can not connect a network cable try this:
You can also depending on skill pop in the livedvd and chroot into your installed system and continue + fix what is needed then exit and reboot into installed hd / should then be working normal Sabayon.

CHROOT:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/h ... art1_chap6

What is important in this link.
First get your internet going in the livedvd then in a terminal login as root, decide where you will be mounting your installed hard drive.

Example:
To get the dns to work so it will connect ip addresses with word addresses for internet sites:
cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/

See how and what is your partition layout:
fdisk -l

Make a dir for mounting the installed hard drive partition too:
mkdir /mnt/linux

Mount the partition to this folder
mount /dev/sda??? /mnt/linux
Replace the ??? with actual label / numbering as is appropriate to your partition layout / root partition numbering dev/sda* or /dev/sdb* or similar.

mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc

mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev

chroot /mnt/linux /bin/bash

env-update
>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...

source /etc/profile

export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"

or
export PS1="(pimp-my-linux) $PS1"
Any label will do to keep you focused on what and where you are working in. Any other terminal window will be root of livedvd and have to chroot /mnt/..... and later parts to get into installed hd partition instead of livedvd root terminal.

Now you are in chroot and can do what you need same as if you booted into it, just don't try to start kde or gnome if it is already running on the livedvd. LOL

This way you do not need a network cable and can do all the stuff Micia posted above to get it to work.

Yup we should edit the guide and let most folks first " equo world --fetch " or download and then run and install as this is a safer way to do it.

Hope this helps, shout if you need more help.

You might be able to in the wicd option / advanced option stop it from loading at boot time and then start networkmanager manually and set it to start at boot as default for gnome or kde.

Not in SL now so can not post specific commands. See also the wiki it could have more info.
