Logfile from KDE crashhandler

I installed RC1 and had the same problem. HW: HP Omnibook 6100, 1 GHz,
After the first login as root kpowersave crashed (see logfile).

But crash it also after the first reboot after full installed or crashed it only 
after the installation finished?

Same here: 10.0-RC1, Inspriron 8200  
  
Unfortunately, the code in hal_battery.c is wrong. Have a look at  
libhal_get_string_array_from_iter(...) in libhal/libhal.c (package hal), which 
is called by libhal_find_device_by_capability(...):  
----  
buffer = (char **)malloc (sizeof (char *) * 8);  
...  
return buffer;  
----  
So under normal circumstances, ac_adapter in hal_battery.c is always != 0.  
Imho the correct code is:  
---  
if ( num > 0 ) ac_device = strdup(ac_adapter[0]);  
libhal_free_string_array(ac_adapter); 
--- 

Again my question from #7: Crash this always? ...

IMO this is already fixed for the next version of powersave

comment #8: You are right. your code is the better one. It is the same used some
lines above getACAdapterStatus(...) ;-)

I will change this.

But please answer the question if it crashes on every login and not only
directly after installation.

Reopening until we'we got have an answer...

It crashes after login and after manual start   
kpowersave crashes, and powersave (-a|-b|-B) crashes, too   
  
As hal-find-by-capability --capability ac_adapter returns nothing, kpowersave  
_has_ to crash ...  
   
I dont know why, but hal thinks I have neither an ac_adapter nor a battery,   
until i run hald-addon-acpi manually - I think this is another bug?  
  
after hald-addon-acpi: 
$> hal-find-by-capability --capability ac_adapter 
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_AC 
  

What is so problematic to answer the question?: " ... But crash it also after 
the first reboot after full installed or crashed it only after the installation 
finished? ..." ? 

We know that this crash directly after finish the installation because of a bug 
in the boot order during installation. Crash is still if you do this?:

rcacpid restart
rcpowersave restart
rchal restart

At my box (Inspiron 8600) it crashes only after the first login at 
installation. The first reboot resolves the problem.. 

to #14: Thanks, for the information. This is fixed. I close the bug now
