I tried setting the kernel parameter on a Jaunty install and it _appeared_ to fix the problem but I haven't made any long calls yet (it was midnight afterall). Will feed back if it doesn't work.
Haven't tried the kernel as I would rather have the ubuntu patches. Oh and _please_ will somebody fix pulseaudio on ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/352732 2009/7/1 Klaus Heinrich Kiwi <kl...@klauskiwi.com> > As a workaround, please try passing 'nohz=off' as kernel parameter, i.e., > in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file: > ... > title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic > root (hd0,1) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg00-UbuntuRoot > ro nohz=off resume=/dev/mapper/vg00-swap > initrd /initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic > quiet > ... > > as another option, try installing the 2.6.30 kernel > (2.6.30-020630-generic)) from the mainline-kernel PPA, and see if the > problem persists. > > You also might wanna combine both options above (use the 2.6.30 kernel > with 'nohz=off') > > -- > Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay > >5sec) > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362203 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: pulseaudio > > I am experiencing high cpu usage with skype when i have voice conversation, > I am using Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit with latest updates. > The skype package i am using is 2.0.0.72-0medi. > > My soundcard driver is snd_hda_intel and skype is configured to use > pulseaudio. > The problem arises also when i am making the test call, skype reaches 195% > cpu > usage (my system has a quad core i7 920). > -- kehanhar...@gmail.com http://kehan.wordpress.com skype: kehanharman msn: kehanhar...@gmail.com -- Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay >5sec) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362203 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
