Floating point exception

Hi everyone.

After doing a system upgrade with pacman -Syu now i'm getting this error with most of my application like gimp, chromium, liferea, mupdf and other apps too.

When i try to lunch i've got this:
Floating point exception

I'm also receiving the warning about fontconfig even if i've alredy follow the procedure explained here
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.


But the most important is the floating point error.
Anyone here know what's going on in the system ?

Thanks

Re: Floating point exception

What kind of floating point exception do you get? What kind of CPU do you use? Do you use Arch x86-64 or i686?

Here's an example :

[lorenzo@arch64 ~]$ chromium 
Floating point exception

I don't know what kind is it. Is there a way to have more info about the error ?

Re: Floating point exception

Can you post the list of packages that were upgraded with your last update? (look in /var/log/pacman.log) it must be something that is common to all programs that produce a floating point exception now. Maybe you just need to regenerate the font cache because it got corrupted... but sofar I can offer nothing more than wild guesses. What kind of desktop environment do you use?

Re: Floating point exception

Ok i've got it.

I've just remember (sorry for the wrong info..) that after the kde upgrade I'd install a theme from kde-look.org, the Kawai theme for qtcurve. I've just switch from qtcurve to oxygen and now all is working as before.

On the theme comment at kde-look other people seems to get it work whitout any kind of problem.. so i was wondering why i got the exception and what i can do to understand the reasons..


By the way, thanks for your support!

Re: Floating point exception

Sounds like a bug in qtcurve, you would need to run a debug build of qtcurve to find out more about the problem. It could be that the theme file isn't compatible with the version qtcurve that you used but I don't know anything about qtcurve.
