I noticed my laptop cpu getting heated up while the machine was idle and disconnected from internet. 'top' showed around 50% cpu usage by gnome- panel, followed by main.py. stopping ntlm with 'sudo service ntlmaps stop' solved the issue. i guess gnome-panel was trying to update weather information through ntlmaps.
i am using karmic koala beta. uname : Linux 2.6.31-14-generic x86_64 ntlmaps : 0.9.9.0.1-10ubuntu1 -- ntlmaps process should be started with hihger niceness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116178 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
