Removing KDE in Sabayon [Quick Guide]

[senofed]

if you're like me and find yourself using gnome software more than KDE and like the speeds of gnome.. here's a quick step guide to removing kde from your system

1. emerge gdm
2. edit your /etc/conf.d/xdm to boot with gdm
3. run this script as root:

Code: Select all

for p in /var/db/pkg/kde-base/*; do echo $p|sed -e 's#.*/#=#'|xargs emerge -C; done

4a. remove the rest of the KDE packages in your applications lists that are used by KDE or
4b. revdep-rebuild X to fix broken packages that have KDE dependencies

you will have to make sure to resolve dependencies with beryl i'm sure. i do not use beryl anymore and just skip it.
