Hello Leann Ogasawara! First I further investigated the symptoms: The 2.6.24 kernel switches between a "good" and a "bad" state. I can tell them apart by looking at the CPU-diagram in the lower right. As long, as the yellow line touches the blue area of cpu/user, everything works as expected. But if there is a thick brown divider of cpu/sys between blue and yellow, I experience all the described problems.
Though the screenshot includes the table of KSysGuard, I could not really relate the brown area to the "System %"-column. During "bad"-state XOrg would take up to 8% and a bunch of other applications use 1 or 2 %. But in "good"-state, this did not drop to zero as one could think by looking at the graph (I admit, it significantly reduced: Xorg 3% and maybe 2 apps 1% each). To get a clean and stable diagram I had my finger on the touchpad constantly shifting the mouse a few pixel here and there. The width is approximately 4 min 30 sec. Against my expectations, I found those two states quite stable. It would not switch all by itself. To trigger a switch I had to do some trivial actions like: - trigger a tooltip - scroll a window - switch active app via Alt+Tab ** Attachment added: "screenshot after switch from good to bad state" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17174412/bad.png -- Event-hungry kernel blocks system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
