I have the same problem (clean gutsy install), also about 25% CPU usage all the time. My CPU is a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+, I have a Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) And my motherboard is a MSI nforce3 K8N Neo2
I was able also to solve this problem by installing linux- image-2.6.22-14-386 rather than linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic -- ksoftirqd/0 always using about 30% cpu time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
