[Bug 394300] Re: Excessive CPU usage after 9.04 upgrade
Is that the ubuntu way of dealing with valid, grave bugs, marking them invalid?! I can send you the needed info, I just didn't get around bringing my system back into an unusable state (i.e. being a CPU hog). And even if I wouldn't, the bug isn't magically gone just because the initial poster deinstalled ubuntu! -- Excessive CPU usage after 9.04 upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 394300] Re: Excessive CPU usage after 9.04 upgrade
I am willing to give Bartosz some slack on this one, at least up to a point. I did, after all, report a bug for hardware that the programmers likely consider obscure or obsolete; not many people have P4m laptop systems with Radeon Mobility anymore. It does seem rather clear that the problem is video driver related, so if there no Ubuntu programmers have hardware with this video card in it, testing the bug can be difficult. However, I do disagree with the label of invalid. It is trivial to find other accounts of the same problem online, so it certainly does exist. It appears I was just the first one to report it here on launchpad. The tag of Won't fix makes sense at this point as the configuration does not seem important to ubuntu developers at this point in time, and incomplete I cannot argue against either as I personally will not be able to provide the files that were requested. However calling the bug invalid seems a bit heavy-handed. Perhaps someone else with this problem will find this bug and provide the requested files if they have not already deinstalled ubuntu for an OS that works on this hardware.

Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I recently upgraded my laptop from Kubuntu 8.10 to Kubuntu 9.04. Laptop has 2 gbs of ram, 1.6ghz P4m. Ran fine under 8.10; however it is unusable in 9.04 due to high CPU usage of XOrg. When not running any applications beyond what is setup in KDE (as in, no web browser, no email, no text editor, no games ...) I find XOrg using 98% of my CPU or more. Even Konsole windows are nearly unusable. I have found that no amount of time seems to resolve this problem, I can leave the system on overnight and XOrg will still be at 98% or more. I have also found that if I ssh in to the system instead, response is as expected; it seems to be driven by the local setup. If I log in locally first, then log in from another system while still logged in locally, I can see the excessive CPU usage of XOrg. However if I log out locally, leaving the system running, I can ssh in and things are normal (XOrg at less than 10% CPU). I have tried reconfiguring xorg.conf via dpkg-reconfigure, that did not solve the problem. My current xorg.conf does not have a driver line in it; is there a different file that specifies the video driver? - Additional work on the same system has shown that this is almost certainly related to the video driver. System has ATI Radeon Mobility graphics. When the commercial radeon drivers (as in xorg-driver-fglrx) are installed and chosen through xorg.conf, system will boot and allow login, but XOrg stays at a near constant 95% of CPU. When installed and not chosen (running VESA instead), system does not complete boot process; though is accessible remotely via ssh. When uninstalled and using VESA through xorg.conf, system does boot and behave normally, however VESA graphics default to 640x480. Tried doing the same with the ati open source drivers, this did not solve the problem, rather the same problems observed with the xorg-driver-fglrx were seen. -- Excessive CPU usage after 9.04 upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 394300] Re: Excessive CPU usage after 9.04 upgrade
Thank you for your reply. However I cannot run those commands on my laptop as I solved the problem by deleting my Linux partition and installing FreeBSD. The newest version of FreeBSD happily runs the newest KDE and XOrg on my laptop without incident. I know there are others who had the same problem with Kubuntu on laptops with ATI video cards, perhaps someone else will see this and be able to provide that output for you. thank you On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 10:48 AM, Bartosz gan...@poczta.onet.pl wrote: Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.

Re: [Bug 394300] Re: Excessive CPU usage after 9.04 upgrade
Thank you for your insight. However, i am not able to test this solution on my system, as I decided to solve the problem by formatting my hard drive and installing a different operating system. I was not able to wait for a solution to this problem, I needed to accomplish a usable system sooner rather than later and kubuntu 9.04 was clearly not a usable system. If this problem is resolved by the ubuntu group in the future I may consider reinstalling this OS. On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 12:40 PM, Psychotron r...@gmx.de wrote: I might have the same problem.
