Ubuntu :: Pidgin Floating Point Exception?
Feb 18, 2010
pidgin started crashing today for no apparent reason. It just shutdowns. No freezing or anything, it just goes away, disappears. From what I can say, there's no specific trigger for this, it can happen after 2 or 10 min after I started it. Once it even shutdown right 10seconds. I tried to run it from the terminal. When I do that, the only thing that appears before closing is
Code:
Floating point exception Anyone has an idea of what it can be? I made no upgrade to pidgin or libpurple recently. I made however an upgrade today of the following packages

This is the first time I post a question on these forums My problem is as follows: I can't start gnome-terminal from the Applications->Accesories menu or from the Alt+F2 application launcher. I get a "Starting Terminal" in the task-bar that disappears after a few seconds and no terminal. I'm pretty sure there is something I did, but I can't really figure out what it is.
The things I've tried so far:
1. I used synaptic to remove and reinstall gnome-terminal. That didn't work
2. Started Xterm and tried to run "gnome-terminal". This is where it gets weird for me:
a. running the command as normal user I get a "Floating point exception" error and obviosly no terminal
b. when I do "sudo gnome-terminal" and enter the root password I get, as expected, a root terminal. I could live with that, but it's not ideal.

I am using a gateway server, 1st NIC eth0 which is acting as WAN (DHCP)and 2nd NIC acting LAN(static). I am using DHCP to assign IP to eth0 from a Wimax modem. I am also use it as a MAIL server (openmail), and as a DHCP server. My server is of RHEL and kernel version is 2.4.8.18-14 and DHCP client & server version - 30pl1-9. The prolem is whenever I run the command..
ifup eth0
getting the error...
Determining IP information for eth0.../ifup: line277: 23328 Floating point exception/sbin/dhclient ${DHCLIENTARGS} ${DEVICE}
so what should I do?? if I update the DHCP, would it be ok?

I have been trying to convert a DVD9 to DVD5 using the following steps
1)Rip the DVD title(s) to harddisk with DVD:RIP in a project folder. This created VOB files of the the movie and the soundtrack you picked.
2)Concatenate (merge) the VOB files into one by running in a console: cat *.vob > movie.vob
3)demutliplex movie.vob and get the M2V and AC3 files out of there. tcextract -i movie.vob -t vob -x mpeg2 > movie.m2v
4)tcextract -i movie.vob -a 0 -x ac3 -t vob > movie.ac3
5)I then shrank the movie.m2v tcrequant -i movie.m2v -o shrinked.m2v -f 1.5

I'm running CentOS 5.4.In the last three days I've started to get various cron errors:
/bin/sh: line 1: 7066 Segmentation fault /usr/local/scripts/cron.email.sshd.access/cron.email.sshd.access.pl
/bin/sh: line 1: 4822 Floating point exceptionsudo -u mobile getmail --quiet
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/RRDs/RRDs.so'
[code]...
Then yesterday I rebooted, and all the other errors seemed to have disappeared for now, but, I am now getting:
/bin/sh: line 1: 23600 Segmentation fault sudo -u mobile getmail --quiet
I have setup cron to call getmail once every 3 minutes, and I get this error about 4-6 times an hour.

why installing kde 4.6 from factory repos went wrong ? i used zypper dup with oss, non-oss and update repos for 11.3 to reset to default install and boot went ok :
this goes with the following package versions:
$ kded4 --version
Qt�: 4.6.3
KDE�: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 3"
i'm using this x86 kernel :
[Code]...
my problem : when i add factory repos (core and extra) for kde install of packages from yast is ok when switching system packages to these. but after reboot i have floating point exceptions and a black screen and can' t boot anymore. the only way out i found so far is to zypper dup to go back to kde 4.4.4

I know it is wrong to use the "==" operator to compare the equality of two floating point numbers. Logically it would seem that if the "==" operator is not usable for floating point comparison, then the "<=" operator would also not be usable. Is this true? The lack of google search results on this topic made me think that it must be true. If that is true, then is it true that the only way to compare floats with <= or >= is with something like the code below? Code: bool smaller_than_or_equal(float a, float b) {
if ( fabs(a-b) < EPSILON){return true;}
else if (a < b) {return true;}
else {return false;}
} I think this is a general question, but if specifics are necessary, I am using the C++ language to code at the moment.

I'm reading a book on assembly, and it talks a bit about the IEEE floating point format.
Quote:
To summarize, the following steps are used to convert a decimal number to IEEE single format: 1. The leading bit of the floating point format is 0 for a positive number and 1 for a negative number. 2. Write the unsigned number in binary. 3. Write the binary number in binary scientific notation f23.f22 ... f0 2^e, where f23 = 1. There are 24 fraction bits, but it is not necessary to write trailing 0's. 4. Add a bias of 127 to the exponent e. This sum, in binary form, is the next 8 bits of the answer, following the sign bit. (Adding a bias is an alternative to storing the exponent as a signed number.) 5. The fraction bits f22f21 ... f0 form the last 23 bits of the floating point number. The leading bit f23 (which is always 1) is dropped.

Over the last few months there have been multiple updates and I am getting a list of things that no longer work or that cause my system to fail. I can no longer open a pdf in firefox. It says there is no application assigned to the task. I ran evince and tried to open a pdf file and received a "floating point" error message on the terminal screen I was working from.

I put an SD card in a reader, got all the right signs from the kernel (SCSI device: sda; write-through; etc.)including its 2GB size.
When I try to mount /dev/sda1 I get 'floating point exception' as a response, and it won't mount.
I've never had that message returned from mount, and I can't find any reference to it.

One of those odd things I learned the hard way is that if you are writing a shared object (library/.so) and any programs that will link to that library uses floating point numbers, the library must be compiled as if it uses floating point numbers. What that really means is, you need to declare at least one float in the source for the library or when the caller connects and tries to run code in the library, the process aborts.I end up putting a float pi (3.1415); in the code and getting an unused variable warning all the time. There has to be a simpler way, some flag to pass to g++ that says, "include floating point support even if you don't really need to."
p.s. Gosh I hope I remembered this correctly. I encountered this problem doing a multi-platform build for Windows and Linux. This COULD be a VC++ problem that I just carried into Linux by using the same source.

Just updated WinFF to version 1.3.2-1.1. Since then it won't start up any more due to a floating point exeption. System: OpenSUSE 11.4 (x86) + KDE 4.6.0 Debug info:
WARNING] Out of OEM specific VK codes, changing to unassigned
[WARNING] Out of unassigned VK codes, assigning $FF
ERROR in LCL: TLRSObjectReader.SkipValue unknown valuetype
Creating gdb catchable error:
$080D1568
[Code]...
I had the same error with earlier versions of WinFF in earlier versions of OpenSUSE. Then I could fix it by changing the KDE window styles. The error also occurs with the WinFF qt-version.

My main problem right now is doing floating point arithmetic within a bash script, with variables.Right now I have a folder called "myExamples" with a script called "run_example" that runs with no issues.I plan to(1) create many folders inside [myExamples], that are named [example10] [example11]...each containing an identical copy of (run_example),(2) modify Line 172 of each copy of (run_example)...in one copy, it would be 3.00, the next copy would have 3.05, etc. (This part doesn't work!)How can use the available calculator bc code to do floating point operations?My code is below -
#!/bin/sh
# run from directory where this script is
cd `echo $0 | sed 's/(.*)/.*/1/'` # extract pathname

I have tried to learn how 64bit asm (nasm in my case) works and found, among the many disparate pieces of info on the net, a few vague inferences that floating point registers can be used for other purposes than what they are intended for, example: "64-bit Linux allows up to fourteen parameters to be transferred in registers (6 integer and 8 floating point)." This would be fantastic for string operations/manipulation (I have never used asm for floating-point operations), can anyone shed a bit of light?

I was wondering if there is any way to SSH from one computer to another and completely bypass a router or any other network infrastructure. The reason I ask is because my robot ( same one in this post ) often needs to change which wireless network it automatically connects to, however it is getting annoying to have to drag out a monitor and plug it in along with a keyboard and mouse every time this needs to happen. Instead I'd much rather just plug my laptop into the other computer, SSH in and change the network myself.
So I thought I would ask you kind people if this is possible. The robot's computer has unused ethernet and USB ports, and I'd like to use those if at all possible (and with linux, anything is possible! -- sorta). I thought about doing something with ad-hoc, but this would limit my range (in infrastructure mode I can control the thing anywhere there is internet), and is to be avoided.

This one has been driving me nuts for some days now:My Gentoo box which is acting as an internet gateway has two point-to-point interfaces, ppp0 (PPPoE to my ISP) and ppp1 (PPTP VPN link to IPREDator). Packets from my local network are just routed through ppp0 and now the fun part starts: I want to MARK (netfilter...) all packets originating from one specific user on that box in order to use another routing table that will contain a default route via the ppp1 interface.Marking seems to work fine as does the second routing table. But quite mysteriously (at least for me), the packets sent out on ppp1 contain the wrong source IP address, namely the address associated with ppp0.So here is what ifconfig and friends tell me:Network interfaces:
Code:
# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0 Protokoll:Punkt-zu-Punkt Verbindung

Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.

After seeing this conky profile I decided to try my hand at making something similar, as my conky profile looked pretty unappetising.All my conkyrc file does at the moment, is display an image and I seem to be falling at the first hurdle. I would like the image to be flush to the bottom of the screen however it floats about 100px above the bottom of the screen.Screenshot attached and conkyrc file below. Does anyone know how to fix this?
