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?

Comment 2 ryanlamb82 2004-10-12 11:57:55 UTC

gkrellm floating point exception: WiFi Monitor (update_monitor)

Comment 3 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-10-18 06:40:49 UTC

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?

Comment 4 ryanlamb82 2004-10-20 21:55:43 UTC

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.

Comment 5 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-11-01 05:47:55 UTC

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.

(gdb) run gkrellm2
