@Chase Douglas, You are right, if the stop udev command is put into /etc/rc.local my usb keyboard and mouse are not recognized at startup. However if I do not have the stop udev command in /etc/rc.local and only run the stop command after booting up and logging in with the usb keyboard and mouse plugged in I get to keep the mouse and keyboard and still reduce the load. Of course, it wont recognize other usb changes subsequently. I understand this is a hack, but if I do not stop udev then I run out of battery power pretty quickly and my laptop heats up very fast.
One point though: this was not an issue with 9.04, because I never experienced this problem there. I did not try 9.10 so I cannot say. So this, to me, indicates that it might not be a hardware problem because the Optiarc DVD drive was working fine in 9.04, unless the drivers have changed with 10.04 and that is causing the excessive load. -- CD-ROM polling on some Optiarc drives causes high CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379780 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
