You have a circular dependency,

[blocks B ] sys-apps/kmod ("sys-apps/kmod" is blocking sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r2)

[blocks B ] sys-apps/module-init-tools ("sys-apps/module-init-tools" is blocking sys-apps/kmod-12-r1)

In line 1: kmod is blocking module-init-tools because it is built off an earlier build

In line 2: module-init-tools is blocking kmod because it was built off a later build

I would bring everything up-to-date first and then debug if the problem is persistent.

I personally always do a world update before installing X, GUI etc.

I am assuming for Virtual Box your host graphics card is just being exposed to the client? Did you already set this up?

dbus

consolekit

x-server

<graphics> <- this can be done within the x-server installation IF you add your graphics card to the make.conf BEFORE emerging x-server.

all need to be installed.

ok

see on the vm i have 1gb ram

it took about 11 hours to do a emerge X

how much quicker will it be on a normal drive with 4gb ram?

also even if i just get it to a terminal how can i add it to my grub so i can boot to it?

Ram plays a part in it for sure but how many cores did you give the VM and how many threads have you made usable to MAKE? IF you give it 1 core with 1 thread - of course this will be very painful and you will probably find the 1GB RAM is being under-utilized.

Edit

The missing piece for me is Virtual Box, I have only used it in the past to run Win XP when I did not use a dedicated Windows box. My experience comes from using VM Ware server - I am not sure how much you can tailor in the Virtual Box environment and thus if my question seems odd we can just query the proc.

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "processor"

processor : 0

processor : 1

This is on a Core 2 Duo

Edit 2

To save some time, post your make.conf as well.

ah i get


# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "processor"
processor : 0

Your host is Fedora core?

Run the same command on the host,

[haggis@laptop ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "processor"

Fortran is in there as the guide said to add it in lol

also when i do

[CODE]
emerge --update --deep world

i get this

In VirtualBox, right-click on your Gentoo VM and go to Settings->System->Processor. From that screen you can set the number of processors you want VirtualBox to use. Also, enabling VT-x or AMD-V in your BIOS (if available) will drastically improve your VM's execution speed. VirtualBox has support for hardware acceleration enabled by default (Settings->System->Acceleration), but it won't actually be used unless your processor has support for it and its enabled in BIOS.

Must be a new issue, I am not near my Gentoo machine right now but I would try this,

1: # emerge -C module-init-tools

2: # emerge -1 kmod

The USE flag 'tools' will provide an alternative but most likely since you have added it globally but not updated the world - this has not come into effect.

Then update your world.

Xorangekiller: That is awesome - this will help Haggis for sure.

Hi Haggis,

Hope all is well - IF you follow Soul Takers advice it might throw an error as in my previous post I removed it already. 'Tools' is already within your USE list and thus when you re-build the world. Everything in theory should be good to go ... Let me know.

That solution came from the gentoo forum and bug tracker, has worked here without issue, as I say it will complain (warn you) that you are removing a system package but kmod replaces its function so as long as you have that compiled all should be good

For sure and perhaps it is not wrong as it is more or less the same steps as i recommended but I am trying to bring the system up-to-date so the compiling of the GUI goes smoothly after the fix.

Better way to phrase it: it is not that you are wrong - it is that combining my advice and yours will result in an error.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
