    Look at the build output for the error. Run the build again with “-j1” if neccessary.

    Also, try searching the web before crying on social media. If you can’t solve your problems without being spoon-fed then GNU/Linux probably isn’t for you.

      Sheesh, let them be frustrated already. Besides, asking for help is totally valid.

        Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.

        If you’re using a whole kernel for free, at least be nice when very deep technical things that you clearly don’t understand don’t go as you expected.

        It’s called having etiquette

          I doubt OP thought, ‘I’m going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.’ It’s okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don’t know what to do with “error 2,” they’re obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it’s probably best not to contribute to it.

          You can rephrase what you’re saying and provide better help to someone who’s completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It’s better for everyone.

            Did you not read his post? He is absolutely taking a shit on all the engineers. You can ask for help without cursing at and insulting the work of the engineers.
