Hello again, Yes, mine asked me for root password which I gave. It also went through a weird step where after I chose a better icon it told me to drag it to a place of interest but there wasn't anything specific to drag. Just a really big window with the icon I chose in the middle.
I'll give it a try as root. Did yours actually have your user account in the list? Mine did not. Gentoo=yes, missing package=no assuming portage properly keeps track of things, USE flag=who knows? It's Gentoo after all. Mark On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at 2:52 PM, Dale <rdalek1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I didn't try to change mine last time but I did just now.
