Public bug reported: When I was running 8.04, I did a dist-upgrade via the update manager. Everything worked without a hitch, except from that moment on, the system would just hiccup for a brief second. This does not affect every application, but most are affected.
After first, I just noticed it when I would view a flash video or flash game on a website. The audio would play fine, but the video would sort of just skip every few seconds and the skip was usually only a half a second. Then I started to nice that when scrolling up and down on a website, it would pause for a brief second before rushing to where I had scrolled to. That was with 8.10. Then, I upgraded to 9.04 via the update manager. I still experience those minor bugs, but now I'm also noticing it when using AbiWord, Pidgin, even while filling this out. I would start typing, the whole thing would stop for a brief second while I continue to type, then everything would just catch up. And furthermore, I notice the system clock seems to skip a second every few seconds. Some of the things that are not affected are things like games, mocp, OpenOffice and Blender. At first I was thinking that it might have been an Xorg issue, but Xorg.0.log only reported two errors. One was a missing font, which I fixed and the other was a v4l error (I believe it was just a warning and not an error). I monitored the CPU using htop and did not notice any spikes in CPU usage. The only other bug report that comes close to what I'm experiencing is this one. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/186725 But, that one was reported to be fixed without any indication as to how it was fixed or what the problem was. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- System hiccups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390407 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
