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

Jeeze! Fortran does not love you either lol

Your host is Fedora core?

Run the same command on the host,

On my fedora box


[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.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
