Please do these: Determine if the problem is Compiz or Unity (which runs inside compiz). You can do this by logging in to Gnome Classic (install gnome-session- fallback) and see if the problem persists. Alternatively, open some terminal windows, one running top, and in the other run ccsm, click on the Unity plugin and untick it to disable it temporarily. Does the CPU go down when just unity is removed? Remember to tick it again to enable Unity before logging in again.
Secondly, please collect stack information: 1. Copy the attached script to your home directory 2. Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) 3. Run: sudo sh ./dstack compiz >> compizcpu.txt 4. Repeat #3 many times. 5. Attach "compizcpu.txt" to this bug. ** Attachment added: "dstack" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1074824/+attachment/3424338/+files/dstack ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074824 Title: compiz consuming cpu when idle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1074824/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
