Upgrade trashed my system and now Rigo won't start!?

[LichPortal]

I was running Sabayon 11 KDE, did an upgrade via Rigo, and (after a couple of hours) the upgrade process stopped dead. Something had obviously died silently.

I rebooted and logged in, but I only got a console. I.e., no X-windows, no KDE, no nothing. Couldn't even run a browser to ask for help on this forum. OK, this is serious. The upgrade pretty much trashed my existing system.

Not knowing what else to do, I reinstalled Sabayon 11 from scratch off my original DVD, downloaded the iso file for Sabayon 13.04, and installed it (i.e., as a fresh install). Seemed ok.

Then I opened Rigo. It said upgrades were available, so I told it to apply them all. Seemed ok, and I rebooted my system.

But now, when I try to start Rigo from the launcher, the little icon just bounces for a while and then silently disappears. I.e., Rigo fails to start. I don't get a popup error message. Nothing. What's gone wrong? How do I fix it?

[joost]

try launching it from a shell.
Without more details we certainly have no idea.

Open terminal/Konsole and type in (as normal user) "rigo" then copy paste the output here.

Perhaps you can resume the upgrade with equo from a terminal:

Code: Select all

equo upgrade

Open terminal/Konsole and type in (as normal user) "rigo" then copy paste the output here.

OK, here's the output:

Perhaps you can resume the upgrade with equo from a terminal: [...]

The upgrade appeared to have finished -- except for a complaint about 3 config files needing checking and updating (which is a bit bizarre -- how would a newbie know what to do with them??).

Anyway, I ran "equo upgrade", and it said the same thing and told me there's nothing to upgrade or remove, but then told me to run "equo conf update", so I did. I chose the "-5" option (automerge all the files without questioning). Then I rebooted. But... no change. Rigo still gives the same errors as posted above.

[joost]

A guess, maybe this will fix it.
run as root:

Code: Select all

equo install gdk-pixbuf

//edit: fixed a typo

Alas, no...

Edit: Guessing that you might have meant "equo install gdk-pixbuf", I tried the latter, which seemed to perform a nontrivial install. After reboot, Rigo now starts up, so it seems your guess was right (modulo a typo).

But... I guess this means the tree of Rigo's dependencies is broken somewhere? That's kinda serious, no?

[life-on-mars]

After each upgrade, perhaps even after each software install, you should also run equo deptest and equo libtest, and as I recently came to realise, check your eselect settings (some upgrades seem to reset them). If you don't do this, evil things happen sooner or later.

My system very recently suffered a hard-drive failure (the hard drive was 8 months old ), and I am now attempting to complete a fresh installation. My system is allegedly fully current now. I have also placed a few extra packages, including the 3.10.0 kernel and sources, as well as the ATI drivers and the vim editor. Other than this, I have not placed the additional packages I need which go beyond a LiveCD/DVD install.

I am also seeing a Rigo failure. I am hoping this can be fixed quickly since I very greatly depend on Rigo.

As for the suggestion regarding "gdk-pixbug", I think joost likely meant "gdk-pixbuf".
I performed "su" to root.
I executed "equo query gdk-pixbuf" and this was returned:

I also executed "equo update" and was told the repository was up-to-date. I then forced the update by executing "equo update --force". After this I executed "equo install entropy rigo" and the result follows:

I then executed "equo --version" and as expected it returned "210". However, no version number was returned for "entropy", and this deviates from the description seen in http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=En:Entropy.

Thank you very much in advance.
