I have a prismGT card using the driver compiled into the kernel. I am running a 64 bit kernel. When I open gkrellm and activate the wifi plugin, gkrellm crashes with a floating point exception. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start gkrellm 2.hit F1, go to plugins, and activate the wifi plugin 3. Actual Results: gkrellm crashes with a floating point exception Expected Results: gkrellm should still be running and I should be seeing wireless info
Can you attach the exact error message, please?
gkrellm floating point exception: WiFi Monitor (update_monitor)
Odd. The gkrellm-wifi plug-in doesn't even contain a update_monitor() function. Can you provide a stack trace by running gkrellm2 under gdb?
Ok, I wasn't set up to debug, but I changed my use flags and did emerge -eU world. When it is done, I'll give it a shot. I have never debugged with gdb, so I'll have to learn about it. I'll do what I can.
Simply run 'gdb gkrellm2' and type 'bt' following the crash. Oh, and attach the console output to this bug report ;-)
Like I said, I'm not set up to debug and I'm not quite sure how. I don't want to set the entire system up for debug since that would make my programs huge. I tried running gdb and got this. There is apparently something else that needs to be set up for debug but I don't know what it is.
