Clicking on the power button on UME desktop causes hildon-desktop to crash

[Dustin Spicuzza]

Binary package hint: moblin-applets

My PC does NOT have a battery, and it is running UME. When I click on the power icon (which shows an icon that is 'canceled' out, since there is no battery), it takes down the hildon-desktop.

I ran hildon-desktop under GDB, and the following information was shown after recompiling it with -g -ggdb

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
[Switching to Thread 0xb6bb2720 (LWP 5147)]
0xb683bc0b in moblin_applet_popup_cb (applet=0x820f000, event=0x80992e8)
    at battery-applet.c:438
438 percent = (applet->charge_curr * 100) / applet->charge_max;

There are two problems as I see it. First the obvious error in libbattery.so. Secondly, hildon-desktop has this huge tendency to crash anytime anything running under it crashes, which is very annoying. It also has a tendency to NOT tell you what happened unless you go looking for it.

Is this still an issue for you? What Ubuntu version do you use? Thank you for telling us!

Haven't used ubuntu mobile in years, I don't remember which version this was from.
