I hate to just be another "me too" but I'm running Intrepid. Every few days I have to reset this box from the power switch. The culprit in every case is that Xorg has completely frozen and the box is totally unresponsive... sometimes I can move the mouse but all Keyboard escapes are non-functional.
I can watch the problem beginning to occur because I keep the CPU usage panel applet running. When doing nothing that CPU usage should be fairly close to zero but after a few days it gradually climbs to around 50% and then continues to climb. The top two processes every time are Xorg and vino-server. If I catch the problem in time, killing vino-server immediately cleans up the problem with Xorg and all is well. I DO have Compiz enabled, nothing too dramatic (fairly standard settings) with the open ATI drivers (not using fglrx) with my X800 All in Wonder. The problem is definitely related to Xorg but I believe the culprit is vino-server. -- MASTER: xorg high cpu usage, general system sluggishness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294972 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
