It's not possible to unlock the paid version of geekbench using this package. Error message:

geekbench --unlock david@exmaple.com YOUR-LICENCE-KEY
Geekbench 6.4.0 : https://www.geekbench.com/

Could not unlock Geekbench. There was a problem saving your license
information. Contact support at support@primatelabs.com for more assistance.

I moved some font files from /usr/share/fonts using the comments as a clue. It's not a proper solution, but at any rate, the crashing problem has stopped. In my case, the font ttf-harmonyos-sans was the cause.

@jake

thanks for the link, i'll add my report to there ( my guess is just real hardware incompatibility )

thought Linux version would be on github 😅

I can not reproduce it either. Just tested it in a nspawn container with only base and base-devel installed and it works completely. So it's not a missing package, rather a conflict with something you have installed. Could be font file according to the backtrace, but only a guess.

Someone had the same issue on macOS, but got no response from the devs or anyone else: http://support.primatelabs.com/discussions/geekbench/84765-cpu-benchmark-abort-just-after-starting-phase-pdf-renderer

strace is an good idea, it doesn't read anything unexpected or font related though:

$ strace -e file geekbench
execve("/usr/bin/geekbench", ["geekbench"], 0x7ffef4f81610 /* 106 vars */) = 0
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

EDIT: my mistake, traced only the launcher... the actual benchmark is in "/opt/geekbench/geekbench_avx2" and this indeed opens every font file on the system:

So this is very likely the problem @ruestique, maybe you see an error there or at which file it crashes.

Maybe a good idea to run an strace log on it to see what it's loading from your system.

The segmentation fault occurs during Geekbench's PDF rendering test, specifically when handling fonts. This is likely due to a problematic font file on your system

🙆‍♂️

maybe there are some dependencies? i have pretty barebone KDE Plasma (have Ocular for PDF and qimgv for image viewing)
