High idle CPU usage.

[noteventime]

Hello,
I updated to Dapper Drake yesterday and I must say that I'm impressed. Although I have one major problem, which is the following:
Before upgrade my idle CPU usage was around 4-7% after my upgrade it skyrockeded to 50-70%.
I can't seem to find anything in top which gives the following output:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
4709 me 15 0 33240 20m 14m S 1.3 2.0 0:21.08 superkaramba

altough both my superkaramba thingy and ksysguard show me 50% CPU usage, KSysGuard was not running whilest running top.

Re: High idle CPU usage.

Hi,

I've noticed this also, that's why I'm using another partition to install beta release (like dapper) then I can test it out and keep my breezy version stable

I have the same problem and it's making work very difficult. Any new news on the issue or a solution? Thanks.

Re: High idle CPU usage.

It's quite strange that you still have this, I don't have any troubles anymore from long time now...
What kernel are you using ? What is your hardware ?
What top is giving you ?

Cheers
