Since this is only how i started to ask for help before i noticed it is a bug the small piece above is incomplete. Please read
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+question/183151 The bug started last autumn and is related to graphic driver and compiz where with combination of proprietor driver and compiz fan speed is low and some graphic related processes overload the cpu or after both are removed other programs like totem get too much cpu and lead to a emergency system shut-down. Whatever it is, graphic driven events get all of the cpu and increase the load abnormally. Maybe you will find this info useful. Two separate blocks with listing of processes and modules used with load and idle. First Part is when i use Pinball to overheat the cpu. Second part is idle Take a look at cpu values on top for overall use and what pinball does and fglrx is used at idle by more processes than under load.

If you like to have anything else i would appreciate it if you could describe where and how i retrieve the info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960925 Title: cpu resources divided to graphic driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/960925/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
