Sounds like it's working right in safe mode:-

When you turn the laptop on regularly and Sabayon doesn't have a gui I think you will have to install KDE.
First make sure with equo to see if KDE is installed.

When the terminal returns superuser required you have to type in your root password before the command in order for it to work.
For example: if you want to install amarok you would run:

And press Enter
Than the terminal would return:
Enter your root password and hit Enter. (the password you created during the install)

Note that in Linux when you type your password it will not show.
This is normal for Linux.

When you get a chance:
Read the page I linked for you so you will know how to use Entrophy or Equo or Portage to run your Sabayon correctly.

Reading the documentation for your distribution is strongly advised.

Still getting same error which "superuser access required" when trying to install anything.
I think I have to research how to give myself superuser at some point.
Too many obstacles atm.

Yeah, research how to become superuser on Sabayon is your best bet.
Again, read the links I posted so you can learn how to run your new Gentoo based system. Take notes and enjoy your new system.

To update your repo's become 'root' and than run this command with the word sudo in front of the word emerge.

Gentoo uses sudo to become superuser

The sudo command provides a simple and secure way to configure privilege escalation.

To update your Sabayon system run:
Than type in your password and hit Enter.

Good Luck

How to become root in Gentoo Linux-

If you don't have a root password follow this video. Only do this codwwe348 if you don't have a root password.

Here's How to slow down a video if you need to:

Did you create a root user password when you installed Sabayon? The Sabayon page below indicates that sudo is not used by default when installed nor is it needed.

https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=En:Entropy

I did create a root password and I am able to do commands. I was supposed to use Sudo for some commands.
Now I just need to figure out how to get it to boot from the GUI.
Keep in mind, this is the profile it set me to and I cannot change it at this moment.

Thanks for joining the thread yancek-

Is that a typo? Sudo won't work, it needs to be all lower case: sudo is that what you have been doing. What is the source telling you to use sudo? Most Linux system that do not use sudo as a default just use "su, su -i" or some other option. You can then configure sudo to give limited access for other users. The Sabayon download site at the link below shows downloads for several different Desktop Environments so you should have a GUI.

https://www.sabayon.org/desktop/

Unfortunately, that was no typo. I picked up from a gentoo video and tested that sudo was actually working with my commands.
I use a live USB for Sabayon and it loads up the KDE Plasma GUI straight away.
When I restart my laptop after install, it's command line.
I am new to Gentoo-Based OS. Other operating systems I didn't really enjoy as much as I enjoy Sabayon when I was testing small things out.
I don't know lots of technicalities, commands, optimizations or shortcuts to Linux and I would love to learn this OS specifically.

Have you read the documentation?

codwwe348, what is the output of:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yancek,

Is it possible that the runlevel is not set to 3?

https://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/run-levels-intro.html

With Slackware I had to change the runlevel from 3 to 4 in order to have the gui:-

Some Linux systems I have used use sudo on the Live DVD but not with an installed system. I don't use Sabayon so I wouldn't know if it is one but if you were prompted to create a root password during the install, I would not expect sudo to be used unless manually configured after the install. Of course if you have e root password, sudo is not necessary.

You could check the file: /etc/inittab to see what it says. The following entry: id:3:initdefault with the 3 would mean default konsole login. Most systems use 4 or 5 for a GUI.

I plugged in the internet wire, and did the few commands including.

su root
equo update
equo upgrade
equo conf update
emerge --sync && layman -S

It installed all packages. still no gui.

Will check file when I can for run priority

Running this command should show you if you have the KDE Plasma DE or not.

Cheers,
