Description OxO pHz.60 2004-11-14 22:58:12 UTC 
after emerging qtparted I tried to run it. After 1-2 seconds of a blackbox with white letters saying getting devices and then qtparted crashes and says Floating point exception.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.#emerge -av qtparted
2.#qtparted


Actual Results:  
Floating point exception

Expected Results:

Comment 1 Michael Kelly 2004-11-25 18:37:18 UTC 
(Keep in mind that I am on a Gentoo amd64 install. Originally I thought that was why I got the error since qtparted is not marked amd64 or even ~amd64.)

I originally got error as well. It was actually a parted-1.6.6 error, not qtparted. Try calling parted on a console as root and see if you get the same floating point error. 

Once I accepted the ~ARCH keyword for parted I installed parted-1.6.15 which works fine. I then re-emerged qtparted (accepting x86 keyword) and it works fine as well, except for one other problem which I will be posting a bug report after I test Knoppix's qtparted to make sure what I'm asking for isn't impossible (ReiserFS partitions don't move or resize). Perhaps parted-1.6.6.ebuild should be masked or at least downgraded to unstable.

Oh and by the way if the ebuild maintainer sees this, yes qtparted-0.4.4.ebuild does build and work nicely on amd64 (other than that Reiser problem, which people on x86 are talking about on the chat boards so it's not just my platform), so you may want to consider adding an ~amd64 keyword to it once we get parted-1.6.15 to keyword amd64 status (or at least once you mask parted-1.6.6).
Comment 2 Liam Helmer 2005-04-07 11:15:50 UTC 
I had a problem very similar to this on i386. After some fiddling, I managed to determine that it was crashing when it scanned and found the CD-Rom device. When I Removed the cdrom device node, it worked. This is not a fix, but, I'm curious if your issue is the same.

I left it after that, as I realized the program is really only mostly working anyways (it's pretty much unmaintained upstream).
Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-06 13:59:55 UTC 
Assigning to maintainer-needed@ as livecd doesn't use this package.
Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-31 05:04:33 UTC 
package masked and is going away soon

I'm taking this package on.
Comment 6 Kevin F. Quinn (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-10 02:19:37 UTC 
Mine, all mine!
Comment 7 Kevin F. Quinn (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-10 03:18:12 UTC 
Please try the new qtparted-0.4.5, see if the problem persists, and report back here (and re-open the bug).
