Hi,
So I tried running as root. This part of KDE doesn't want to update
my account
because it's not a new user.
c2RAID6 ~ # systemsettings5
false

You are using newer ~amd64 stuff so possibly there's something
better about newer. Not
willing to go there however.
c2RAID6 ~ # emerge -pv systemsettings
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
