Title:
[gm45] Xorg using up CPU and only reboot solves problem
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Originally raised as a question here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+question/116345
Problem symptoms:
Visting a given webpage results in a java process that increases its
CPU% to 100%. When the browser is closed and the java process is
killed the "Xorg" process uses up much more CPU than average,
approximately 30-70%. The whole desktop responds very sluggishly and
all applications are slow to open and respond. dropping out to a tty
session (CTRL+ALT+F1) and restarting gdm just sees the problem return.
If I stop gdm and wait approximately 15mins and then restart gdm
everything goes back to normal. Also if I leave the desktop for a very
long time (approximately 1 hour) things do settle down again and the
responsiveness of the desktop resumes to normal.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot up PC and login to desktop as normal
2. Login to VPN
3. Open firefox
4. Visit the problem website (internal site at my work, if I find a public
one that invokes the same issue then I'll post it here)
5. Use top to see the java process ramp up to 100% CPU, let this settle for a
couple of minutes
6. Close firefox and kill the java process
7. Try to use some desktop applications, keep an eye on the terminal session
running "top" and make a note of how much CPU is used each time you try to
start another application (i.e. another terminal)
