Details

Since some time, when starting gkrellm, I get

"gkrellm floating point exception: (initializing)"

in the console and in a xmessage window. Clicking the ok button in the xmessage window ends gkrellm, so it's not possible to start gkrellm this way.

Strangely, starting it with "gkrellm --demo" works fine!

With debugging output:

jan ~ $ gkrellm -d 3
--- GKrellM 2.3.2 ---
diskstats=1 partition_stats=0 sysfs_stats=0
gkrellm floating point exception: (initializing)
Aborted

Using: community/gkrellm 2.3.2-1 on a 64-bit machine
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed with a command line parameter. Anyway is a upstream bug.

Try to remove the configuration files from gkrellm, these are in ~/.gkrellm2 then start again ;)

Thanks for the hint, but I forgot to mention, that I did that already. Didn't help at all...

Sounds that is related to this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gkrellm/1465

you are on notebook? run with gkrellm -use-acpi-battery

Yes, that actually solved the problem... although I think it's still a bug, right? This is more a work-around, the program should not just crash in any case.

yes is a uptream bug, maybe is a division by zero.
