I have been able to trace this to gksu. Every time gksu is invoked, the CPU goes into a spin caused by mousetweaks. Not sure whats the relation here though. If I kill -9 mousetweaks, everything is restored to normal and gksu no longer hangs.
kernel: 2.6.31-14-generic mousetweaks ver: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 -- mousetweaks went to 100% cpu load and X system is frozen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384754 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
