I followed the steps you suggested. The misbehaviour happened one more time, and then went away. And then a few weeks later it came back. It kept happening each time I woke the machine until I rebooted, and it is not happening any more.
Facts that might possibly have some relevance: 1. Just before it started happening I had disabled and re-enabled Pulseaudio (a necessary step to get round an unfortunate design decision by the Skype for Linux developer). 2. I was noticing recently that sometimes Amarok2 would start hogging CPU and have to be killed. This wouldn't happen at the same time as the PulseAudio freakout. I have now removed Amarok2 and reinstalled version 1.4. I will let you know if the PulseAudio problem reoccurs. -- pulseaudio starts to hog CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530643 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
