RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ales Kozumplik 2013-05-27 12:08:05 UTC
I installed RHEL7 0522-Workstatation compose today, after trying to log in as a regular user through GDM I only see gray background a cursor. The virt host this is running in shows 100% CPU load for the virt machine with the RHEL7.

switching into tty2 and checking 'top' output, there is gnome-shell taking 95% of the CPU.

Upgrading from F17 to F19 using FedUp. Has similar behavior. With one monitor it is OK. Second monitor causes gnome-shell to use CPU at about 150% (dual core machine). Seems to last indefinitely. Removing external monitor causes behavior to disappear. Seems to occur in both Gnome and Gnome classic. Version 3.8.4. Did not notice this happening in F17.

With one monitor gnome-shell uses ~20% CPU. Switch to LXDE resolves the issue. Two monitors runs as expected. Process "X" runs at about ~2% CPU, ~95% idle. Integrated Intel 945GM.

Comment 3 davidshumway 2013-08-11 02:48:06 UTC
Whoops. Enabled KDM before switching to LXDE. Before this LXDE may have had similar problem.

yum install kdm;systemctl enable kdm.service;systemctl disable gdm.service;

has this been reproduced with rhel7 beta or newer ?

Comment 6 Ales Kozumplik 2014-02-25 17:31:44 UTC
No, haven't seen it since, only that one time. Completely fine to close this.
