Hi,

the atom package will install a file in /usr/bin which have the name : apm

On CLDM, there are a package sys-apps/apmd which is the Advanced Power Management Daemon. This package have a /usr/bin/apm file

So, it’s impossible to install this 2 packages at the same time. That’s why you have this error and atom is masked…

Pay attention, do not remove sys-apps/apmd, I think it’s important.

Hi ,
Thank you for reply. So it seems i must look for an Alternative like Sublime or so :wink:

You can try to use appimage based Atom package, https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/Atom
You just have to chmod +x on package file, double click and it should run. If not try to run from terminal and see what’s missing.

Good to hear about that. You can also use flatpak’s or/and snaps’s but appimage is imo easiest to use.

Normal i m more the fan of a clean install but in this case. Perfect. Next project Anbox.
At moment found no way but will find out :wink:
