I think I narrowed it down to whats causing it. At the advice of another poster on launchpad, I created another user account and logged into that account. I logged onto my work VPN, and then visited the site which caused the problem it runs some java app but i think it also uses flash, or at least it looks "flashy" and then noticed the cpu go up and then down again, everything seemed fine. I then added "noscript" into firefox and tried it again and the problem was reproduced. So I believe its browser based java and possibly flash. But no amount of xserver restarts seems to solve the problem. As before rebooting is quicker than trying to resolve it. I really wish I knew a way of tracking the rogue process down and killing it off. Of course avoiding the site in the first place is what I do, but there is a chance I could stumble onto a site that causes the same symptoms. -Mark -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
