@Mauro, I tried sudo -i (same as sudo su AFAIK) with no success. Just add that line to rc.local and be done with it. My CPU temperature indicator is showing 38C now (compared to 60s before). Stays in low 40s most of the time. No fan heard. Battery life: 5.5-6 hours (verified) - moderate use: browsing, etc.
A nice way to check those interrupts (instead of cat-ing every files) is: grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/ Glad we found a workaround. I am curious about other notebooks in this thread (Lenovo, etc.). Interesting if it is the same interrupt. All in all I am still debating whether to return the Samsung 7 (have till Jan 24th) and just use my work MBP. It is the top of the line 15" Retina model - very nice. So the question is whether to put up with Apple atrocities like awkward keyboard and .DS_Store files to name a few or deal with Linux's inconsistent trackpad two-finger taps and other glitches. Sorry for offtopic. Inconsistent two-finger tap is pretty much the only issue I have with this notebook. Everything else is perfect. I can care less about the Evolution Calendar bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887793 Title: Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/887793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
