Hi,
For quite a while in my testing of OpenSUSE 10.2 (possibly ever since I started with alpha5, but I'm not sure), I've been seeing a KDE Crash alert for KPowersave every time I log in.
I'm not sure what role this application plays in normal system operation. Nothing is overtly malfunctioning as far as I can tell.
Its help says: "KPowersave is a utility used to set power consumption and conservation options." It is essential for mobile users, I usually disable it for desktop computers.
The system is an always-on desktop.
% rpm -qa |egrep -i powersave kpowersave-0.7.1-6 powersave-0.15.10-3 powersave-libs-0.15.10-3
How should I deal with this? Should the application be running? If not, how do I get KDE to stop launching it when I log in?
Edit ~/.kde/share/config/kpowersaverc and set Autostart to "false"
That setting was not present, and as I said in my reply to Leen Meyer, KPowersave doesn't appear to get as far as reading its rc file before crashing. Something else is starting it and that's where I'm going to have effect a change. The only file anywhere in the ~/.kde hierarchy that mentions KPowersave in any form (besides its own rc file) is .../share/config/kickerrc. This file contains two seemingly relevant entries: 1) The string "kde-kpowersave" appears among a large comma-separated list in the setting FirstSeenApps from section [menus]. 2) The string "/opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/kpowersave.desktop" appears in the setting RecentAppsStat, also in the [menus] section.
If it is important, how might I diagnose and repair the problem?
Try to get a coredump.
I have the stack back-trace from the KDE Crash Handler, but since this is not a debug version of the program, there are no symbols, just addresses: -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- System configuration startup check disabled.
