Paul, I also had this problem about large CPU spikes.
It's a known nvidia bug with the nvidia drivers found with the Additional
Drivers application in Ubuntu.
It can be fixed up by downloading the latest nvidia driver from nvidia's
website and installing that. :)

Meerkat (10.10) does not
Have just re-installed a fresh copy of 10.10 up-to-date as of today. The bug
still effects me.
After applying Kenneth's fix (see comment #68) all is working well.
I've done a little digging around, and it seems there is no elegant way to get
it working.
I can't find an elegant way to get
Interesting, I'm not able to presently try that fix (#54), but it does sound
like there may be some hope.
I should add that I've also got a Core i7, X58 chipset, nVidia GeForce GTX 275,
and an SSD boot drive.

Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
Just to let everyone know that since installing Arch Linux with Gnome and the
latest nVidia drivers:
* I don't have the Gnome theme issue anymore (as I did when running Ubuntu
10.10)
* I don't get any random freeze-ups that last about 8 seconds (as I did when
running Ubuntu 10.04)
Here's some
Yes, the problem is persistent.
What chipsets does everyone here have?
Mine is an Intel X58 chipset
(which can be found amongst other ways by doing a lspci)
I think I'll make up a temporary work-around script to fix this issue.
It'll most likely be a dodgy hack.
I'll post it here if and when I
be killed with no effect to your
present theme for the current session.
Also note that when I run gnome-settings-daemon (after running killall
gnome-settings-daemon) this is returned to the console:
-
rhub...@rhubarb-sx58:~$ gnome-settings-daemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:4716): WARNING
We may be on to something here.
My system that's having this problem:
Core i7 975, nVidia GeForce GTX 275, 6GB DDR3 RAM, Intel X58 chipset
I have no theme issues when I revert back to the nouveau video drivers.
But when the nVidia 260.19.06 drivers are installed suddenly I have theme
problems.
I encountered the same problem on a Dell laptop (I can't remember what model, I
guess from around 2005).
I edited /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib and commented out 3 lines as follows:
Before:
if fs_uuid=`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=fs_uuid 2 /dev/null`
; then
echo search
I've figured out the proper way to permanently fix this issue using the
documentation from here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
Create a file named mouse.fdi in your /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ directory:
gksu gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse.fdi
Then paste the following in there:
?xml version=1.0
Shirsh, that doesn't quite work for me. A few commands there are invalid and
don't work.
But, the good news is that I did get it working this way:
cd /var/lib/boinc-client/
sudo mv ca-bundle.crt ca-bundle.crt.old
sudo wget
Confirmed here too.
Running Edgy i386
While downloading a file with the default bittorrent manager,
clicking (once) on the incomplete file in Nautilus in the directory causes 100%
cpu usage on one core - am running on a core duo here.
