char * problem

Hi:

This is how I get info from the server. The server sends it in "struct risp" format

Code:

void MainWindow::getSysStat() {
	/* create the system info strusture that will hold information about the server */
	sysInfo = (struct risp *)malloc(sizeof(struct risp));
	//sysInfo->running_kernel = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * LONGEST_KERNEL_NAME);
	//sysInfo->fsStat->name = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * LONGEST_NAME);
	//sysInfo->fsStat->devName = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * LONGEST_NAME);
 
	/* wait until the socket gets connected */
	if(socket->waitForConnected(-1)) {
		/* wait until data gets available */
		if(socket->waitForReadyRead(-1)) {
			/* read from the socket */
			char *dataRead = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char)*sizeof(struct risp));
			if((socket->read(dataRead, sizeof(struct risp))) == -1)
				qDebug() << "Error reading data from server";
 
			/* cast the data to match the risp structure */
			sysInfo = (struct risp *)dataRead;
			//qDebug() << "total cpu is: " << sysInfo->total_cpu;
		}
	}
 
}

Here is struct risp:

Code:

struct risp {
	/* cpu info */
	unsigned long cpu_usage;								/* /proc/ */
	unsigned long total_cpu;								/* /proc/cpuinfo */
	//char proc_name[LONGEST_PROC_NAME];				/* /proc/ */
	//char *cpu_processes[NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES];		/* /proc/ */
 
	/* ram info */
	unsigned int ram_usage;					/* /proc/meminfo */
	unsigned int total_ram;					/* /proc/meminfo */
	//char *ram_processes[NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES];		/* /proc/ */
 
	/* swap info */
	unsigned int swap_usage;					/* /proc/meminfo */
	unsigned int total_swap;					/* /proc/swaps */
 
	/* filesystems */
	struct fsMountList *fsStat;
	unsigned short int numFs;
 
	/* kernel info */
	char *running_kernel;							/* /proc/ */
 
	float uptime;									/* /proc/uptime -> the first number is the uptime in seconds */
	unsigned short int num_users;				/* /proc */
	unsigned short int num_processes;
	unsigned short int num_running_processes;		/* /proc/stat -> procs_running */
	char arips_included;							/* 0/1 */
 
};

The problem is this:

Code:

qDebug("Kernel: %s", sysInfo->running_kernel);

it displays noting like ti should: it should display: "2.5.25"

So does anybody see what's the problem ?
