Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: powertop
Ubuntu karmic updated september 11th
powertop-1.11-1
kernel: 2.6.31-10-generic
powertop parses the kernel config to make suggestions about things to
turn on and off. On karmic, however, the kernel config
(/boot/config-2.6.31-10-generic) is one line too big, and the statically
allocated config buffer cannot hold it all. jaunty kernels had about
4000 lines of config, but karmic kernels have 5001 lines.
What I epxect to happen: powertop runs longer than 5 seconds
what actually happened: powertop segfaults immediately after displaying one
screenful of power usage
Fix: in config.c, increase static char configlines to 6000
** Affects: powertop (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
