High usage of the cpu - up to 100%

[Wojciech Ryrych]

X consumes up to 100% during normal using of system. No demanding applications
are used: just Firefox (mainly) or text editor.
The problem wasn't case in Kubuntu 9.10

Seems like it was a program I installed that was keeping the CPU working... I removed an extremly cpu intensive program called 'boinc' and went back to normal. Too bad it didn't show up in the System Monitor. If you want to see ALL the processes you're running, installi htop. Open a terminal and type:

> sudo apt-get install htop

Run it:

> htop

Look for cpu consuming processes (at the top). Try killing them with:

> sudo killall [name_of_process]

Good luck!

Sorry but I'm "a bit" frustrated. Since Lucid I'm experiencing 100% cpu usage. Can't normally work on my system. Before Lucid it was OK. So apparently it's fuc*** up in Lucid. You have not even assigned the bug to anyone. You have not even told me it's going to be fixed in X time. Ati don't support my card. I tried to use Karmic X but system won't start.
OK. I could understant if you would say: we're no going to support this card any longer but you did not.
Sorry once again but this "community support" made me crazy. :(

I'd like to apologize for my previous post. I'm very willing to provide you as much information as you need. :)

You aren't using the lucid kernel, but something else? Run 'ubuntu-bug 605041' to attach relevant logfiles etc to this bug.

Wojciech Ryrych, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Thank you for your understanding.
