Description Victor Hahn 2011-07-21 14:37:51 UTC

Two mission-control processes are currently grabbing all CPU time they can get, since several minutes ago. I don't know what caused this. I've got empathy runnning, but then, this is almost always the case. ;-D

Will kill those processes now. Shouldn't happen.

Here's what top says:

Comment 1 Victor Hahn 2011-07-21 17:18:09 UTC

This maybe (!) just happens when I start Xorg using startx on the console instead of using the display manager. I'm not sure about this yet, however.

Comment 2 Peter Robinson 2011-08-12 10:56:45 UTC

I'm fairly certain that is your problem as we're not seeing any others with the issue and its not really a standard config. I'm about to push 5.8.0 which has a number of bug fixes.

I have similar problem on Fedora 16. (This causes my laptop to overheat.
After killing mission-control, temperature is back to normal.)
