Title: 100% CPU when changing hardware volume control Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I checked, and found no similar bug. Two problems occur when the hardware volume control on my laptop is used/bumped, i.e. moves: 1. notify-osd goes to 100% CPU for a few minutes. 2. During this time I cannot type anything in the any open terminal windows, though the mouse functions. Terminal windows can be opened and their window title bar highlighted, but the cursor stays an empty block. Alt-TAB also does nothing, though I can switch desktops and go to a text console. Further observations: 1. The notification box disappears whenever the mouse goes over it, and reappears thereafter. 2. ps shows only one instance of /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd (I have to switch to a text console (Ctrl-F1) to get this). 3. Killing the notify-osd instance )from the text console) with signal 15 or signal 9 doesn't help: a new one (owned by init) appears. 4. My keyboard remains messed up as I type this: Alt-Space doesn't bring up the current window menu. I can switch desktops with Ctrl-Alt- arrow, though. This is a real problem, in that I have to reboot unless I want to wait 10 minutes or so. It happened earlier today at a client, who told me that it would have been much less of a problem if I had been using Windows instead of Linux. Not much I could say... :-( Why did I move the volume? Simple: it's just off the corner of my notebook, and moving the notebook is not easy without this happening. Putting something down next to the notebook could move the volume wheel.
