Ok this is by no means scientific and is far from technical but here are some findings.
Only got a new machine yesterday and installed the latest on it. I noticed that my new laptop was sluggish and unresponsive to the point of being unusable. Launched top to see 100% Xorg load. Found this bug on the top of a google search and tried the logout / login, switch VT's but nothing seemed to work, then the windows training kicked in if in trouble/doubt reboot :) It was then that I noticed that the install CD was in the drive. I removed it and choose to boot from the HDD. I have HDD encryption on the drive and I noticed the password prompt text was tiny, had not been that small last time I started the machine, the text on the pre-splash screen was also tiny. Logged in and opened xterm (saw that desktop effects were on, had not seen this before either). top showed Xorg load was 1 or 2 % launched firefox, Xorg load rose to ~9%. Put the install cd back in rebooted, choose to boot from HDD, the HDD encryption password text was larger, opened xterm, Xorg load is 21->24% launch firefox and meltdown !! unresponsive !! when xterm finally shows up again 100% Xorg load. I then noticed that I can't remove the cd from the drive at all. As soon as I click restart and the screen goes black "* Will restart now" message is shown I can eject the cd. I am using an Intel ThinkPad T500 standard model with Centrino 2 (all specs on line) if further hardware info is required. This is reproducible 100% of the time. -- [karmic] Xorg 100% CPU utilization -- only after first login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439138 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
