Hello. Could you please revert the workload patch (b45a38317777678b94cdf4cc81896e3a66db68bd) as it seems to try to execute some random memory. When powertop is started as ./powertop I see the following stack trace: Breakpoint 1, system (line=0x7fffffffd440 "\020\020i") at pt-system.c:29 29 pt-system.c: No such file or directory. (gdb) where #0 system (line=0x7fffffffd440 "\020\020i") at pt-system.c:29 #1 0x0000000000456933 in one_measurement (seconds=20, workload=0x7fffffffd440 "\020\020i") at main.cpp:190 #2 0x00000000004572c2 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe538) at main.cpp:455 (gdb) This shows up as a powertop beeing nonresponsive, flashing the display excessively and warning about not managing to run the program. /MF

Hi Magnus, Sorry about that, that patch was lost in the shuffle. All patches have now been applied upstream, and all should now be well. -Chris
