Arch Linux User Repository

@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

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:

$ strace -e file /opt/geekbench/geekbench_avx2

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)

@ruestique Cannot reproduce.
