I take that back. I can't reproduce the bug any more this week. Mladen - Could you please try my quick guide to recording performance data while the CPU usage is high?...
1. INSTALLATION sudo apt-get install linux-tools-common Then you also need the package specific for your kernel. You can find out what it is called by running "perf". That will tell you what you need. 2. RECORD PERFORMANCE Start this and let it run for a while: perf record -p `pidof compiz` Then stop it with Ctrl+C. 3. CREATE A REPORT In the same directory (where perf record created file 'perf.data'), run: perf report > compizperf.txt And attach the file compizperf.txt to this bug. ** Changed in: unity Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity Milestone: 5.14.0 => None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997314 Title: Dash taking too much CPU when idle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/997314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
