GNOME/Guide

GNOME is a popular desktop environment capable launching Xorg and Wayland sessions. This guide attempts to describe all aspects of GNOME, including installation, configuration, and usage.

the differences between

Profile [5] is a basic GNOME desktop profile.
Profile [6] adds the systemd init system to the GNOME desktop.
Profile [7] further optimizes the file system structure by using the merged-usr feature in addition to GNOME and systemd. -This profile builds upon the previous profile but includes a concept called "merged-usr." In Gentoo, the "merged-usr" feature consolidates certain parts of the file system into a single directory (/usr). This is an optimization that reduces duplication of files and saves disk space.
- This profile is essentially a combination of the GNOME desktop, systemd, and merged-usr. Your choice among these profiles would depend on your specific requirements and preferences. If you're comfortable with systemd and want to optimize your file system, [8] could be a good choice. If you prefer a more traditional setup, you might go with [6]. The stability status indicates that all of these profiles should provide a reliable and well-tested configuration.


>you could eselct set 5 and latteron to upgrade it to 6 or 7

- Remember that when you switch profiles, you may need to update your system and packages to match the new profile's configuration. You can do this with the following commands:
- Update the package manager (Portage):
    - `sudo emerge --sync`
- Update all installed packages:
    - `sudo emerge -avuDN @world`

$ sudo eselect profile set 5 --> looks like I could not use termail as root user to set it. or I sudo eselect first and DB was locked by me

Error: circular dependencies:

(media-libs/libsndfile-1.2.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on (media-sound/mpg123-1.31.3-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime_slot_op) (media-libs/libpulse-16.1-r2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) (media-libs/libsndfile-1.2.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

It might be possible to break this cycle by applying any of the following changes:

media-libs/libsndfile-1.2.2 (Change USE: +minimal)
media-sound/mpg123-1.31.3-r1 (Change USE: -pulseaudio)

Note that this change can be reverted, once the package has been installed.

Note that the dependency graph contains a lot of cycles. Several changes might be required to resolve all cycles. Temporarily changing some use flag for all packages might be the better option.


- to solve, put the following lines into /etc/portage.make.conf

for emerge -av gnome-base/gdm

- media-libs/libsndfile-1.2.2 (Change USE: +minimal)

- media-sound/mpg123-1.31.3-r1 (Change USE: -pulseaudio)

USE="+minimal -pulseaudio"
