gcc-3.4.1 == my box is hooped!

Sep 20, 2004, 8:49 AM

Post #1 of 7 (835 views)

the story in short:

# running ~x86
# emerge -puD world
[oo! new gcc!]
# emerge -uD world
# /etc/init.d/xdm start
everything is broken

now in detail:

after i emerged gcc-3.4.x, my kmail client had stopped starting up properly.
i later found out that this had more to do with the fact that i'd just
upgraded to kdepim-3.3.0-r1 and that this was a symptom of incompatability
with gpgme than anything else, but thinkging this was gcc based, i figured
that the best thing was to do:

# emerge -e world

sure, it's a rocketlauncher to kill a fly, but it's supposed to work right?
well apparently not.

now, kdm won't start. in order to ge kde running, i have to run "startx" as a
normal user, kill twm, then run startkde from the xterm.... AND the
windowmanager is completely unstable. sometimes, running konqueror the whole
box will just freeze, but i'll still have mouse control. i have to login
remotely and rune "killall -9 kdeinit". i lose all session data and i'm
dropped back into the empty xterm. only now instead of plain text in that
window, there's a bunch of cracked-out characters. typing any letter results
in some cryptic, mangled character being displayed on the screen, but just
typing "startkde" (regardless of the fact that i can't read what i'm typing)
sends me back into kde like there's nothing wrong.

please help me. this is a work machine and i can't afford to take it offline
for a day while i rebuild it.

Similar issue here - I found I had two versions of gcc installed still - I
uninstalled the older one (3.3.4, I think) and kept the most recent...

Still don't have arts working...but at least I'm into KDE now... :)

Any futher help with this would be appreciated.

Here is a backtrace I get with arts:

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

My next option is to go back to 3.3.4, and recompile everything (not what I
really want to do....)

So I finally just re-installed 3.3.4, and re-emerged my system...now it's
working. :)

I don't know what the problem with 3.4.1 is...and no one seems to be able to
answer any questions made WRT the issues I had.

I'm fine with 3.3.4....there isn't anything in 3.4.1 that I absolutely NEED.

I have had problems like this in the past. At the time I did an
etc-update and then resumed the ebuild. Perhaps there are config files
that need updating on your machine.

nope. i always run an etc-update after each emerge. but i've managed to fix
the problem by putting the following into package.mask:

>=sys-devel/gcc-3.4.0

and then just re-emerging everything. this worked for my work machine, but
with my desktop machine (given looser time constraints) i did a full
re-install with kernel 2.6, reiserfs and gcc3.4 from the start.... and it
works just fine.

My solution as well... it worked for me too.

I'm sorry I can't assist you with fixing your system, however I would like to
say one thing:

this is why knoppix is so great. Fully functional system while you
rebuild! :) And if you're like me and use imap for everything, you can even
read your email :)
