Please start powermanager from a console and post the output from there. The above log is useless.

Can one of the reporters try the following patch? It should catch the error loading the module (I'm unsure about the cause, are you running Xgl or did something else non-default with your X server, maybe?)

It should, however, give me some hint about what needs fixing, too (there's at least two more references in the code that cause problems, but since I can't reproduce it, I'd like to make it at least not crash.)

Thanks!

Can you post powermanager's console output? (It should be different than without the first patch, which only makes it get further. I want to make not being able to detect idle time non-fatal in the first place.)

I'm not sure what your xorg.conf has to do with that, however.

i always get the following message on the console:

KCrash: Application 'guidance-power-manager.py' crashing...

yesterday i pllayed arroung with the xorg.conf, cause i had some problems with kde, the powermanger worked. so i thought that there is a correlation.

i found out that the powermangager only crashes when i use my xorg.conf eith multihead enabled. i will add the xorg.conf with which the powermangager will not crash and the one when it craches.

I have the same problem on a Dell Latitude D-600 Notebook with ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. Only when I use the xorg.conf with multihead-xinerama, powermanager crashes.

I tried to remove guidance-powermanager and used kpowersave instead. That works fine. However, then another guidance module (displayconfig-restore.py) crashes.

This looks like another duplicate of bug 91545.

I have prepared test packages (i386 only) with fix from KDE SVN. You can install and test them:

http://muse.19inch.net/~lure/feisty/kde-guidance_0.8.0-0ubuntu6~lure1_i386.deb
http://muse.19inch.net/~lure/feisty/kde-guidance-powermanager_0.8.0-0ubuntu6~lure1_i386.deb

Please report back if it fixes or not your problem. If we get good feedback, this fix will be considered for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

I just installed the test packages for kde-guidance and
guidance-powermanager.

The good thing: Now guidance-powermanager works again! :-)

However, displayconfig-restore.py still crashes... and still, it only
happens when I use the xorg.conf with dual monitors enabled.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the good work!
