We have to run powersave/kpowersave in valgrind before sending out this time.
Tracking this one down for 9.3 shortly before 10.0 is bad, we all have a lot work to do? I have a feeling that this comes from scheme fetching code which should have been elemintated from Holger ... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Memory leak in kpowersave when switching from AC to battery mode? Date: Mon, 08 Aug 2005 15:17:28 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I use SUSE 9.3 and I believe I have discovered a memory leak in the kpowersave applet. I found this email address by running "kpowersave --author". "kpowersave --version" prints: Qt: 3.3.4 KDE: 3.4.0 Level "b" KPowersave: 0.4 When kpowersave first runs, it takes up around 30Mb of memory on my laptop. I noticed that after a couple of hours of using my computer, I had very little free memory. ksysguard reported that kpowersave was using over 100Mb of memory. I noticed that if I unplug and then plug in my power cable for my laptop, the memory usage of kpowersave increases every time. This suggests to me that there is memory being leaked when kpowersave switches from AC mode to battery mode. I use my laptop with suspend to disk (i.e. I rarely reset) so this means I have to restart kpowersave every so often because it wastes so much memory. My laptop often switches to battery power and back again as the power cable twists when the computer is on my lap (hardware problem though) so the memory leak is very noticeable for me.
