Description Geoff Madden 2021-07-31 09:43:01 UTC
As there are no errors tagged,I'm at loss as to where to look,I wish to complete a Government census,& falkon is not up to their security standard. I have compiled firefox,oracle & chromium,none of which actually startup.
This has only raised it head since the recent change of glibc.
Any help will be very much  appreciated.
As an aside kmail is also showing this problem of not starting up nor of fetching mail.

3rd result after recompilinf kxmlgui

As you can see very little difference even after Kxmlgui recompile
Comment 4 Geoff Madden 2021-07-31 11:06:01 UTC
The start up of chromium just gives a jumping circle around the icon,but no actual startup of the program
Comment 5 Stephan Hartmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2021-08-01 15:20:08 UTC
We need some more information here. Can you start chromium or one of the other non-working browsers on the command line and post the output messages?
Comment 6 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2021-08-01 21:42:06 UTC
It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis.
We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. 

I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3].
I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4].
Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

command line results

That opens up another worm As I'm also not able to initiate wayland.
hence having to use plasma x11 desktop

>/usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/modules/libappmenu-gtk-module.so: undefined symbol: gdk_wayland_display_get_type
Try to `emerge -1 x11-misc/appmenu-gtk-module`

Haven't tested but sounds like ABI issues related to flipping USE=wayland on gtk+:3
