KCrash: Application 'kpowersave' crashing... werner@habel:~> -------------------- An upgrade of HAL, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit etc. from factory as suggested here https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298943#c29 is not an option, because it would break too many dependencies on this productive installation. Is there any alternative to such an upgtade, maybe a manual workaround to start kpowersave? If so, please explain in step by step detail. Many thanks in advance, Werner p. s.: I am not having any problems to mount my USB-Drives as it was described here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298943#c0 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
