Every time I start up, I eventually hear the whir of my fan that tells me some process is eating up all of my CPU cycles. It always ends up being update-apt-xapi. If I kill that, then python immediately steps up to eat just as many cycles. So, I kill that too. What is happening here and how can I avoid it? I don't really care if I have a pretty GUI for updating. I run apt-get from the command line.

Re: update-apt-xapi
Thanks. I went for the chmod 644 option. I don't need this thing.Comment

Re: update-apt-xapi
I believe these two programs run when your system is checking for updates in the background (for the Update Notifier). If you don't use the update notifier then uninstalling shouldn't hurt. Although I wouldn't uninstall python.Comment
