Gentoo re-emerge KDE
Hi,
I have a question about how to re-emerge a package in Gentoo with new USEFLAG settings. I emerged KDE in Gentoo without the arts USEFLAG, thus my KDE sound system does not work. I have already set up ALSA and needs to re-emerge KDE with "arts" flag in. I updated the make.conf file and used the following command: emerge --newuse kdebase_meta However, it shows me that the KDE is up-to-date and does not re-merge it for me. Can anyone let me know how to re-emerge a component in Gentoo with the new USEFLAG? Many thanks. |

KDE can use a 3rd party program to play system sounds, if that's really that important for you. Look in the control panel, you can set an external program like mplayer, mpg123 or play to play the system sounds, no need to enable arts just for that. The rest of the stuff should work via ALSA, like it always did. |
Hi
Thanks for your reply and explanation. I am going to take your advice and not installing arts. I now understand why there are so many posts on internet saying "do xxxx without aRts"... Many thanks. |
