This is a workaround, not a fix. Edit (548 bytes, text/plain)

Workaround: don't use "-f" option
(unnecessary if using /etc/cpufreqd.conf)

@kakurasan

the workaround did not work for me.

Also on 13.04 with Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830tg

I have upgraded to Lubuntu 13.04 on a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427.
Cpufreqd crashes on system start up only. I then have to open the task manager, track the PID of the "running" cpufreqd, and kill it in the terminal.

Once the process is killed, I just start go to my cpufreqd icon on the bottom right bar and select performance. It starts up again, but does not crash.

The workaround worked for me, even if /etc/cpufreqd.conf exist in my system.

The problem is that cpufreqd uses MAX_PATH_LEN (defined as 512 in cpufreqd.h) to set buffer sizes when it should really use PATH_MAX (defined as 4096 in /usr/include/linux/limits.h). The cpufreqd package in quantal was built on maverick using an old glibc that didn't validate the buffer size. The cpufreqd package in raring was built on raring using a new glibc that does validate the buffer size, which is why we now see this error.

Looks like the issue was fixed in upstream git long ago, but upstream git hasn't been released as a new version since then:

Note that if you re-build cpufreqd 2.4.2-1 or 2.4.2-2 on quantal, the same issue appears.

btw removing -f from /etc/init.d/cpufreqd works for me.

Sorry for being dense but I found two instances (start and reload) where -f is used, do I delete -f and the config file variable from both of these and do I also remove the -- argument before them?

Yes, delete -f from both of them. You can remove the '--' as well.
