I used PowerTop on Ubuntu 15.10. I found that Ubuntu 15.10 uses PowerTop 2.7. However Debian Stretch uses PowerTop 2.8. And it seems that the bug is in the 2.8 version.
I tried to downgrade PowerTop and installed the 2.7 version on Debian. But now I am getting another error line: *** Error in `powertop': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000002418ef0 *** Aborted On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 12:37 PM, Aleksandar Atanasov < redbaronqu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I understood pretty well what you said.
