Solved gnome-calculator (from pkg & ports) сloses after 1 sec when launched.

[USerID]

1. Before the package update (before the llvm install & update to version 19 a few days ago) the gnome-calculator
worked fine and without problems. It was installed from packages.
Now:
# pkg query -e "%a=1" "%n" | grep llvm

llvm19
spirv-llvm-translator-llvm19

2. After
# pkg update && pkg upgrade llvm installed, hooked dependencies, updated several more packages and, most likely, because of this, the calculator immediately closes upon startup. The calculator window freezes for 1 sec. and closes automatically.
Log:
# cat /var/log/messages

Mar  4 20:10:40 none kernel: pid 89700 (gnome-calculator), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)

3. I think this is a bug. See similar posts at the links below.

4. # freebsd-version -kru

14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p2

5. # pkg info xfce

xfce-4.20

5. Deleted:
# rm -rf /root/.cache/gnome-calculator/eurofxref-daily.xml
Didn't help.
6. What I did: removed, reinstalled from the package and from the port. /usr/src and /usr/ports updated via
# git pull -p
Branches:
# git status respectively:

On branch releng/14.2
Your branch is up to date with 'freebsd/releng/14.2'

On branch 2025Q1

7. How to fix? Not critical. For now I installed elementary-calculator.
8. Thanks.

I had the same problem.

Try this in the terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.calculator refresh-interval 0



The gnome-calculator trys to download currency rates and this doesn't work.

With the above setting you disable this function and the gnome-calculator
starts again.

You can also disable downloading currency rates in the settings menu.

Thanks for your help! It helped. Now everything works.
I'll add. I saw an interesting command in this thread. And indeed, these exchange rates...
