The core dump is because of the assertion failure. Somehow the processing of /proc/timer_stats has broken. I can't see anything obvious as to why. I'd suggest running it under valgrind and seeing if that throws up any warnings.
I have seen some other "interesting" core dumps on 10.04 in various libc string functions in other programs so I wouldn't rule out a library problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554983 Title: powertop: powertop.c:113: push_line_pid: Assertion `strlen(string) > 0' failed. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
