I'm seeing the same problem on my fully patched Lucid Kubuntu box (P4, 512 Mb of RAM). Specifically, using 'atop' reveals system crippling levels of paging and disk reads - obviously the bottleneck on this system is memory rather than processor.
That said, my problem is not with the cron.weekly entry - there is a call to update-apt-xapian-index within my cron.daily/apt which seems to apply after each automatic package list update. I'm highly tempted to comment out both the weekly and daily lines or, perhaps, to unset the excutable bit on update-apt-xapian-index (since this would cause both scripts to skip the call). At least I'm not contemplating the sanity-sap that would be looking at the source code yet... -- update-apt-xapian-index uses too much CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363695 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
