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: Tasks: 178 total, 5 running, 173 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 97.2%us, 2.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 4050540k total, 1807172k used, 2243368k free, 39188k buffers Swap: 19661508k total, 0k used, 19661508k free, 804616k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1734 victor 20 0 55928 2576 2160 R 98.5 0.1 57:48.69 mission-control 2067 victor 20 0 55928 2576 2160 R 62.7 0.1 55:46.37 mission-control
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.
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.) top - 11:36:08 up 1:02, 2 users, load average: 1.71, 2.06, 1.24 Tasks: 226 total, 4 running, 222 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 15.8%us, 1.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 83.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3979268k total, 2824604k used, 1154664k free, 124708k buffers Swap: 6094844k total, 0k used, 6094844k free, 1092672k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4286 vbntr 20 0 85796 3076 2540 R 100.0 0.1 6:38.08 mission-control 6419 vbntr 20 0 1553m 549m 37m S 13.6 14.2 1:20.09 firefox 4480 root 20 0 152m 36m 11m R 7.0 0.9 0:23.67 Xorg 4776 vbntr 20 0 1830m 145m 42m S 6.0 3.7 0:24.15 gnome-shell
