Seems like this bug happens when the display size is set to 0. This could happen, in particular, when using ATI proprietary drivers (fglrx). A workaround is to specify "DisplaySize" inside the "Monitor" section of xorg.conf. See http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=36399 for an example (thanks to Ken Phillis Jr for the reference!).
However I think that Qt libraries should check the value returned by the X server before making computations, in order to avoid the crash of the application. -- crashing with SIGFPE in QApplicationPrivate::construct() when display size is 0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
