Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Originally raised as a question here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+question/116345 Problem symptoms: Visting a given webpage results in a java process that increases its CPU% to 100%. When the browser is closed and the java process is killed the "Xorg" process uses up much more CPU than average, approximately 30-70%. The whole desktop responds very sluggishly and all applications are slow to open and respond. dropping out to a tty session (CTRL+ALT+F1) and restarting gdm just sees the problem return. If I stop gdm and wait approximately 15mins and then restart gdm everything goes back to normal. Also if I leave the desktop for a very long time (approximately 1 hour) things do settle down again and the responsiveness of the desktop resumes to normal. Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot up PC and login to desktop as normal 2. Login to VPN 3. Open firefox 4. Visit the problem website (internal site at my work, if I find a public one that invokes the same issue then I'll post it here) 5. Use top to see the java process ramp up to 100% CPU, let this settle for a couple of minutes 6. Close firefox and kill the java process 7. Try to use some desktop applications, keep an eye on the terminal session running "top" and make a note of how much CPU is used each time you try to start another application (i.e. another terminal) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-23.37-generic 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-23-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Jul 20 13:20:57 2010 DkmsStatus: bcmwl, 5.60.48.36+bdcom, 2.6.32-22-generic, x86_64: installed bcmwl, 5.60.48.36+bdcom, 2.6.32-23-generic, x86_64: installed bcmwl, 5.60.48.36+bdcom, 2.6.32-21-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox-ose, 3.1.6, 2.6.32-22-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox-ose, 3.1.6, 2.6.32-23-generic, x86_64: installed InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) MachineType: Dell Inc.
