Comment 4 Richard Marko 2013-02-23 14:45:17 UTC
There's this line in powertop html output which is causing problems:

549 uW	 2.9 us/s	 1.1				kWork	ieee80211_dynamic_ps_enable_wor�

Comment 5 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-02-25 09:50:57 UTC
Please upload powertop html obtained by:
# LANG=C powertop --html

powertop.html

Comment 7 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-02-27 09:29:33 UTC
I am unable to reproduce with the attached powertop.html. Also the string from comment 4 doesn't seem to be unicode. Maybe bug in powertop or kernel perf?

Comment 8 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-02-27 09:31:28 UTC
The only thing we could probably do now in the powetop2tuned code is to catch the exception and correctly exit.

It's possible to pass errors='ignore' to codecs.open to ignore decoding errors.

I would rather catch it and cleanly exit, there maybe more binary garbage.

Fixed by the following upstream commit:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/tuned.git/commit/?id=7cc8345a8eedd53401a8213b1f1cfd285d28dead

This bug will be autoclosed when the new release will happen.
