 Posted: Fri May 16, 2025 2:44 am Post subject: Python mask issue |
 |
|
I'm trying to install the plasma which i wonder why when i chose plasma profile during install. I guess it doesn't work out of the box and needs more? Anyway, that's not the main problem. When I try to install plasma I get this mask issue. It prompts to update files, I type Yes and it does nothing and keeps prompting the same, why? what's the point of prompting to update files if it doesn't do anything? How do I get around this? I hate this stuff. When i find help it says to edit package.use but it's a directory and you're supposed to add files, then other help says to add files when something's a file. what a pain. how to deal with this I have little patients for this? there's accept.keyword files package.use, package.mask USE variable what a bunch off confusion. Anyone who posts a link to the masking section in the manual will be ignored. I've looked, don't understand. Directories? files? What's deprecated, what's not?
"IMPORTANT: 22 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating. " what files and what do they need?
| Code: |
sudo emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-meta
The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by dev-util/itstool-2.0.7-r2::gentoo[python_single_target_python3_13]
# required by dev-util/gtk-doc-1.33.2-r1::gentoo
# required by net-misc/networkmanager-1.48.10-r1::gentoo[gtk-doc]
# required by kde-frameworks/networkmanager-qt-6.13.0::gentoo
# required by kde-plasma/ksystemstats-6.3.4::gentoo[networkmanager]
# required by kde-plasma/plasma-systemmonitor-6.3.4::gentoo
# required by kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6.3.4::gentoo
# required by kde-plasma/plasma-meta (argument)
>=dev-libs/libxml2-2.13.7 python_targets_python3_13
Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No]
Autounmask changes successfully written.
* IMPORTANT: 22 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- dev-lang/python-3.13.3::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
* sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.

Those are essential information which, when ignored, can produce unwanted behavior. So have a look here.

Just have a look at: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE and it should help you.
| Code: | | sudo emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-meta |
Please use the root account directly and avoid using sudo in this case. I know it should work, but sometimes there is confusion and produces weird things.
Do you have set any PYTHON_* var in make.conf or anywhere else in /etc/portage/?

| In addition to the good advice received above, please clarify what masks you've added, share the output of grep -rsin python /etc/portage, and provide emerge --info. I also suggest in future you not include "... will be ignored" in your posts. |

Historically, there was initially only the option of using the /etc/portage/package.use file. This was later extended so that it can also be a directory in which individual files are stored. Both options can be used today - but the automatic creation of entries requires a directory.
To install a minimal KDE/Plasma you need these steps:
1. Choosing the correct profile. See more here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/New_at_Gentoo#The_Power_of_Gentoo
2. Setting the correct VIDEO device -> https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/make.conf#VIDEO_CARDS
3. Emerge these (instead kdecore-meta you can choose kde-apps-meta for a "full" kde; see more here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE#Applications )
| Code: | # emerge -vD xorg-server plasma-meta kdecore-meta
# nano -w /etc/conf.d/display-manager
! Change => DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm" |
4. Add this and a session tracker ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE#Session_tracker ) to your runlevels; example for an OpenRC system:
| Code: | # rc-update add elogind boot
# rc-update add display-manager default |
If you use a non US keyboard you must change it for X11 with (example for de):
| Code: | # cd /etc/X11
# mkdir xorg.conf.d
# cd xorg.conf.d
# cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf .
# nano -w 40-libinput.conf
! Add to keyboard section => Option "xkb_layout" "de" |
|
I did all that during install. I chose profile 27, plasma openrc. Now I can't install anything or update @world I get this python error. That was the original question. This is a fresh install. I followed the handbook. How is anyone supposed to install this? |

linking documentation is unhelpful. It's condescending and insulting. You're essentially saying :"It's right here dummy, all you have to do is read it". I can find documentation. The handbook is documentation. I followed it, it didn't work so I come here for help from someone who knows how to get it working not for links to documentation. I can find that on my own.

I've done no such thing. All I've asked is that you not include such a sentence in your opening post. It doesn't set a good tone. It's also not unhelpful if it's a specific document that you couldn't find or is hidden, or one wasn't aware of its relevance to a problem. It's starting proceedings in an unnecessarily hostile manner.
Please answer the bits I asked for. |

I strongly suspect that you have done more than just follow the manual ... e.g. adjustments to the use flags ... which probably no longer fit ... in any case, we need the output of all those mentioned here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Overview_of_System_Information#All_Settings_for_Portage
On this occasion: In our forum we have the great opportunity to communicate directly with our developers. They are not paid for this (just like we moderators are not paid; neither are the admins; nobody; the only reward we all get is a written “thank you” ... and not always ...). @sam has already requested data (“share the output of grep -rsin python /etc/portage, and provide emerge --info”) ... instead of providing it, you reply in a nasty way ...

| Gentoo has a steep learning curve. Beginning is hard and at that stage it is easy to bite off more than one can chew. There is no shame in admitting defeat and asking for help, but there is no obligation to provide support either. Giving support is no one-way street; it requires your cooperation. If you come in here with the expectation of not having to learn yourself, but receiving - demanding, even - solutions on a silver platter, then Gentoo isn't the right choice for you at this time. |

I tried to provide grep -rsin python /etc/portage but it said "Error in post" too big maybe?
