To clarify, the freeze of my MythTV system included X. The cursor didn't move and numlock wouldn't toggle.
I run BOINC and ever since 2.6.27, multitasking has been terrible. BOINC runs two idle-priority processes for my two cores. If I'm playing a video with these processes around, and there's just one more process on top of that wants to consume a full core, everything grinds to a halt, then sputters. Video and audio pauses for several seconds at a time and performs very inconsistently. And even cursor movement is jerky. And lately, I can produce the several-minute freeze easily. I just have to start BOINC while MythTV is playing video. So I'm starting to think the extremely poor multitasking is just the result of this bug causing freezes in much shorter intervals. -- konsole, synaptic, and apt-get can hang for minutes in 'disk sleep' state waiting on flush_cpu_workqueue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
