For me, this bug happened after I updated the BIOS on my Samsung Series 7 17.3" laptop. I had bought it last year and never updated the BIOS. I went from P02 to P06 I think.
People who got their laptops with latest BIOS obviously had the bug all along. This is a classic case of Samsung screwing their Linux customers while adding support for latest Windows operating system. Disabling gpe13 in my case helps. -- 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
