Subject: "can't handle reloc type" -- huh?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sean McAfee)
Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 16:11:08 GMT
I've been attempting to get KDE working on my Slackware system. Just when
it seemed that I had all the problems ironed out, I got the following error
messages when I ran startkde:
kcontrol: can't handle reloc type 'size__C9QFileInfo'
kaudioserver: can't handle reloc type 'size__C9QFileInfo'
kwmsound: can't handle reloc type 'size__C9QFileInfo'
kfm: can't handle reloc type 'size__C9QFileInfo'
krootwm: can't handle reloc type 'size__C9QFileInfo'
kpanel: can't handle reloc type 'size__C9QFileInfo'
kwm: can't handle reloc type 'size__C9QFileInfo'
I tried to figure out where this error message was coming from, but without
any success. I grepped for the string "can't handle" in the kernel source,
the egcs source, and in the "strings" output of all of my libraries, but
nothing that looked like it could be followed by "reloc type" presented
itself.
So, if anyone can tell me:
1) What this error message means, and
2) How to prevent it from happening,
I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance!

People need to get out of user-land for a minute and remember what
this is all about. Maybe nexttime your dad asks 'but I don't understand, why
do they do it all for nothing?', you'll be able to answer.
There has been a bladdy great lot of time put in to this operating system
we all so love. I mean a bladdy lot, screw Microsoft, the brute programming
capacity that lays behind a modern Linux install would dwarve anything Microsoft
could dream of (come to think of it I retract that, I substitute 'anything they
would ever pay for'), why do you think it is better? cos MS programmers are shit?
I doubt it (at times).
The brainpower behind this is motivated <to tune of fsf-song.au posted
here sometime ago> not by money, but by a understanding and comraderie
between programmers everywhere!!! A sort of a 'I'll show you mine if you'll
show me yours' type ideal, in the name of being sensible.
GNU and Linux fit together so well because they share a common ideal,
with fear of sounding dramatic, they were _born_ of a common ideal (and dont
gimme that Linus crap, he's done great, but linux-0.01 was 73kB (gz) and
besides, he says 'lynne-icks' not 'lie-nucks').

If your computer booted the Hurd kernel (when it's done) or some other kernel
one day running Metro-X you probably wouldn't even notice. but you move to a non
GNU system and you will quickly notice your ls wasn't colour (or color at least)!
Most commercial Unices have little GNU stuff in them off the CD. These
Symantec/Windows analogies etc, demonstrate a total ignorance of the way it works.
I don't say 'GNU/Linux' every time I mention the thing, but it is
certainly in /etc/motd.
I think people should glow with idealism at the opportunity of being able
to say GNU/Linux whereever appropriate. And the report queried about by the
original poster certainly qualifies as a appropriate place.

Well, the results are in.
PII350 & Win 95: 50 h
Cyrix 200 & Linux: 46 h
I should note that at around 70%, I changed the "blank screen" setting to blank
the screen after 1 minute. As a result of this, there was a remarkable increase
in speed. Getting rid of the graphics overhead, significant performance gains
emerge. Both started a new block of data this morning around 2:30. Here's where
they are now:
PII350 & Win 95: 70%
Cyrix 200 & Linux: 20%
after 8.5 hours each. BIG... HUGE difference.. Try setting the "blank screen"

}Yeah. But, um, don't you still need to select on the writable sockets?
An alternative is to make the socket non-blocking
and just let the write/writev succeed or fail -- in my
experience it succeeds the vast majority of the time
(esp. if your SO_SNDBUF is 'big enough'). If it
fails just try it a bit later (which thttpd already
knows how to do).
Hmmm, I wonder if doing an immediate recv (rather
than going through select first) is likely to be
a win:
ns = accept(as,...);
fcntl(ns,...,O_NDELAY);
rc = recv(ns,...);
if ((rc == ERR) && (errno == EWOULDBLOCK)) {
/* OK, need to select this one after all */
} else {
/* see if we got a complete request */

The SETI@home project fascinates me endlessly, both from a technical and a
cultural standpoint.
I would make two comments about this:
1. The MacOS wrecklessly throws almost all of it's CPU resources to the
frontmost application. When the SETI@home client kicks in -- even as a
"screensaver" -- it becomes the frontmost app.
2. Speaking strictly about performance (I'm not gonna get into
architecture), the current MacOS lags other operating systems mainly in
it's file system. SETI@home has very, very little of that going on. The
MacOS's file system performance stinks, but when you ask its RISC CPU to
do a lot of fast fourier transforms, it takes a back seat to nobody. Mac
hardware has always been very, very good.
3. Probably the biggest thing accounting for the relative performance
differences you see in these stats (all of which are changing quickly) is
CULTURAL. A lot of Wintel users seem clueless that their seven year old
Packard Bell is on the wrong side of the performance curve.
I believe that the Windows users cooperating in the SETI@home project
represent a more even distribution of the general population. Mac users to
to fall into two distinct Groups: 1. Those who use their system but don't
want to know anything about how it works, and 2. The geeky ones who love
their Macs and would marry them if it were legal.
Group 2, suffering from a perpetual Mac persecution complex, also tends
to take an interest in the sort of thing SETI is trying to accomplish.
Vendicate your system preference and find aliens. This is pure Group 2 stuff.
Group 2 users tend to have nice hardware.
For the record, I have three Macs doing SETI@home work:
PowerCenter 120, 120-MHz 604, 112-Meg RAM, 70-hours.
PowerMac 7500, 200-MHz 604e, 64-Meg RAM, 30-hours.
Macintosh 300-MHz G3 server, 256-Meg RAM, 15-hours.
The G3 server is my regular desktop machine. It's fast Ethernet and RAID
disks have no impact whatsoever on SETI@home.

I'm experiencing the very same problem, now !!! Neither I do recall
about any modification to /etc/profile, or anything else (though
something I must have touched ... ;-). However, no clue in ~/.xerrors
(just a lot of unuseful messages, in that file ...), nor in any
/var/log/*.; and no matter which user logs in (also tryed with a brand
new one): no icons on the desktop, and the taskbar is dead ...
Any clue would be veeeeery much appreciated (reisntalling the whole
stuff would be quite boring, You know ...). TYA.

Do other accounts still work or is the whole KDE
damaged?
And are you still able to launch programs via the
[ALT-F2] command line?
If so, the following could be a solution:
Some days ago I encountered a similar problem.
I loaded a huuuge html-file into kfm, which
killed my X-server. After this the kpanel and
the icons disappeared, not even rebooting
helped. After some research I found the reason:
In my personal .kde/share/config/kfmrc file
in the [SM] section (session management) there
was a "URLs"-entry with a non existent
address. I deleted all but the "URLs=" and
KDE worked as if nothing had happened.

Can you ping the Cable modem ????
Start at the basics then work your way forward
Ping yourself
ping both lan cards
ping the cable modem
I would also think that you would need to actually Log on with you username
and Password before any routes can be put in place by your provider !!!!
They probably assign the routes for you automatically on login.

I'got just the same problem of yours. I can't say
what I did wrong, but now I'nt got no more icons
on the desktop, and kpanel icons do not fire
nothing, anymore ... However, I didn't change my
PATH, and however it contains both /opt/kde/bin,
and /usr/X11R6/bin; no matter which user logs in,
the desktop is empty and the panel is dead.
I didn't got any clue from any kde logging file
(~/.xerrors is full of unuseful not-error messages
...). PLEASE, HELP !!!

I did download it, and asked for a free license about 2 days ago,
how much longer should I wait for a free license ??

One suggestion it to create a new user and see if kde
works for that user. If so then there is some problem
with the original users kde configuration files which
are ~/.kde and ~/.kderc which you might delete or rename
temporarily to see if it works.
