If - and it is a big if - -9 is a kernel code, than it is a bad file error - probably meaning you have some access error during the build... Try and run it as super user...

Yeah, we dont want that here, all we want is splenetic venting!

It isn't that, it is the build trying to do too much at once, spawning processes everywhere. Apparently, and rather ridiculously, it seems to be incapable of adapting dynamically to the resource availability of the host machine!

That's a great idea! If you are caught by an access violation, preventing you from destroying data that isn't yours, obtain the rights to do the write so that the other data IS overwritten. If you are lucky, that might bring down your entire system, not just the worker process!

I always loved negative numbers in error messages. Really adds to the impact that something went "catastrophically" wrong.

They are not really negative by declaration. It is probably Yocto that try to scare you more

especially 9, such an evil bastard 9 is.

7 is worse. 9 is the victim.

Yep, and those error messages arent covered.

Are you sure? Might it be that this is just another case that you disagree with what is written in the manual and so choose to visit Code Project to have a rant about it instead.
It could be that error messages are made up there are no error messages, all these people have been wrong about error messages for years, there is evidence to support that error messages are not real and if we all just ignore them everything will be fine in the end.

I googled the error messages, and the one place I wasnt taken to was the manual.
I did find a comment about checking system resources, so I grew the disk again, and limited the concurent tasks to 6, which has averted that error at least.
Of course now I have new ones....

My programs (/processes) always have an outermost exception handler catching all otherwise uncaught exceptions. My support library provides a ComeFrom function used by exception handlers to traverse the stack to pick up whatever information is available.
True enough: There is a standard "Print stacktrace" option. But first: Handling the exception programmatically is far easier when the information is provided as a data structure, rather than in console output format. Second, there is often more information available in the binary stack traversal than what is printed on the console.
If the code is not yours, so you cannot insert an exception handler, this option may be unavailable. But in those cases, you often cannot do anything about it anyway. (Our Bamboo build system generates at least a handful of stack traces every day, often 250-300 stack frames deep. We can read the function names, so what? We can do nothing but ignore it. Mailing the stack trace to Atlassian is futile.)

0) Got a Windows 7 and Lubuntu VMs stood up. Tried to install SQL Server 2017 installed, but an arbitrary decision of the part of Microsoft prevents you from installing it on Win7. On the bright side, DVDFab works fine in the VM, and I got VS2017 installed (took a couple of hours).
1) I experienced the most painless hardware transition I can recall (the media file server went tits up last weekend). Swapped out motherboard, memory and CPU (Gigabyte AX370 w/ 8 SATA ports, Ryzen 2600, 16GB DDR4 RAM). I also changed over from an old 60GB SSD to a 128GB nVME drive. I used CloneZilla to move the existing Lubuntu instance to the nVME drive. It took less than 5 minutes, and booting is LIGHTNING fast. I have all of my drives connected to the motherboard (including the DVD drive), and I stil have one SATA port free. Life is good.
3) Linux Mint comes with some bastardized version of xScreesaver installed. I say "bastardized" because the settings screen for the XMatrix scrensaver doesn't have all of the possible settings for that screensaver. Namely, density and frame rate. Still trying to work that out.
4) My wife was concerned that she wouldn't be able to do her web-based jigsaw puzzles, but I allayed her fears. I think her transition to linux is going to be fine. I told her she's been using some form of linux for at least the last 12 years (android phone and iPad). Her reply, "Yeah, but I didn't notice." That, ladies and gentlemen, is the ultimate hurdle.

"The user shouldn't notice what OS you're using" should be hammered into every developer. Personally, I think our Linux-based phones are years ahead of where the Linux desktop is. Given that to do most anything, I still have to use the CLI.
