Gnome Do

[silentswarm]

this program looks amazing but i just installed sabayon yesterday and am just getting use to the gentoo i used ubuntu before. so i know a little bit about linux but not enough so try not to talk way over my head.

but when i do my emerge gnome-do gnome-do-plugins it gets stuck on this one

i thought it might have something to do with me using the kde but i wasn't sure

[micia]

Can you post the output of:

Code: Select all

eselect kernel list


Keep in mind that if emerge gives you problems, you
can always use equo/sulfur.

[silentswarm]

i did get type that code i don't have any available i did a system update right after i installed i kinda get what the equo is it a package manager i get that so how do i use it?

[micia]

First of all install the kernel:

Code: Select all

uname -a


this will tell you which kernel you have installed, for example you could
get:

Code: Select all

2.6.29-sabayon


So install that version using equo:

Code: Select all

equo install --ask linux-sabayon-2.6.29


You could be propted for some config file update, in this case
follow the instructions that equo will give you.

Notice that in this example we are using the 2.6.29 version as an example,
you could have a different kernel.
Now run the:

Code: Select all

eselect kernel list


again.

You could get something like:

Code: Select all

eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-2.6.29-sabayon


As you can see, 1 corresponds to the kernel that we want as the current
one, so select it:

Code: Select all

eselect kernel set 1


now eselect kernel list should look like:

Code: Select all

eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-2.6.29-sabayon *


Now you can use emerge -av gnome-do without any problem, I think.


It is a little too long to explain how to use equo/sulfur, but there is a
wiki page that explains it, so take a look:
http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=Entropy

[wolfden]

moved topic to correct forum, please post in the correct forums

[silentswarm]

k did all that you said and this is what i got.

for some reason i have no idea why when i go to my Repositories it shows it downloading the sabayon.org but then it comes up with this Repositories synchronization ...

what ever i do i can't seem to update the repository it just stops in the middle of downloading

[micia]

That is pretty strange, try to update repositories using:

Code: Select all

equo update --force


if it still complains try to reinstall entropy using emerge:

Code: Select all

layman --sync sabayon
emerge -av entropy sulfur


then try again:

Code: Select all

equo update --force


if you succeed reinstall the kernel, as above.

[silentswarm]

uh no luck what is wrong?

got this when i tried to force update

jeff@netbook ~ $ equo update --force

jeff@netbook

then this

jeff@netbook ~ $ layman --sync sabayon

[micia]

You should use equo and emerge as root when updating repositories
or installing, sorry for not specifying that...

[EDIT] and eselect too.

[silentswarm]

i did the above and it worked untill

netbook jeff # equo update --force
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/equo", line 33, in <module>
from entropy.core import SystemSettings
ImportError: cannot import name SystemSettings



i need this because i can't seem to install anything and it is really cramping my style i haven't really done much and installed it only a few days ago so i am not sure whats going on.
