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

[life-on-mars]

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.

Code: Select all

equo s entropy

That should give you the entropy version.

I wouldn't count that much on anything written in the wiki. Much of it is either incorrect or outdated. Most likely because wiki.sabayon.org is not open for everyone (looks more like an invite-only club to me).

Thank you, life-on-mars.
The entropy version has checked out as the correct one.
Now if only I could get rigo working...

I just discovered that I can run rigo from the command line if I am root. When I run rigo as root, equo update reports nothing new, even though I use sabayon weekly and my last update was last week. I still cannot start rigo from either the command line or the desktop icon if I am a "regular user".

By the way, when I run rigo from the command line as root and try to manage repositories, the rigo display blanks along with the following written to the konsole where root started rigo:

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

Code: Select all

equo install gdk-pixbuf

[VolvoBirkenstock]

Thank you, joost. That fixed it. The gdk-pixbuf now on my system is x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf-2.28.2. This is the same revision on my system that I reported in the 9th post to this thread. Did another package downloaded during an upgrade overwrite something normally distributed under x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf-2.28.2? Otherwise I have no idea what could have caused this issue.

I would mark this thread "Solved", except that I'm not the original author.

Again, thank you very much, joost. Most excellent.
