Hi, I’d run it a bit differently: - change profile - force-remove gnome (emerge -aC) - double checking USE flags and updating @world as usual - cleanup (emerge --ask --verbose --clean) - install services that aren’t already installed as a dep (maybe anacron or ntpd/chrony) - Adding the services to appropriate runlevels (e.g. rc-update add xdm default)
- If necessary, replacing udev with eudev. I don’t remember if it got changed automatically a while ago on one of my systems due the switch. If you didn’t explicitly removed OpenRC you have it already installed, (removal is possible though), and sysvinit gets pulled in by OpenRC ;-) BTW, I personally like elogind (a standalone "cut off" of systemd-logind) and can suggest it as a surrogate for consolekit2. Support by the upstream is incredible fast. Have fun :) Nils > thanks, > > raffaele -- GPG fingerprint: '00EF D31F 1B60 D5DB ADB8 31C1 C0EC E696 0E54 475B' Nils Freydank
