Haia I noticed this morning on my SUSE 9.0 box that the CPU was busy ( around 40 to 50%) even when no program was running. I used >>TOP>> to check and System Monitor but there was no indication that a program was occupying the CPU. Is there another way to find out what is using the CPU? Two things I have done in the last days: I upgraded the kernel with the patch on "YOU". I printed some photo's on my HP2110 printer. Not sure if this is of any help but I put it here anyway. Can anybody suggest what to do? TIA. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

Mine does that too: I suppose it is the screensaver. It doesn't happen when I am actually using the thing. Henry Harpending

Thanks Henry. It could be, but i doubt it because it only started doing that in the last two days. Anybody else has an opinion on this? -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

Bill, If some process is running that makes the cpu show 50%, then it has to show somewhere. Try doing the Ctrl-Esc key combo to bring up ksysguard and see if that will give you a better view of the processes. It could be that that it is a couple of processes in combination taking up 50.

Nothings shows up here. I added systemmonitor in the taskbar and everything shows up as OK. It must be Ksim what has gone nuts for some reason after I upgraded the kernel because it still shows up a 45% usage. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

There has been a previous thread about this problem with 9.0. I have noticed it myself - if I stare at ksysguard for long enough X usage goes up and down often up to 40 or 50%. Apparently if at the boot prompt you put pci=noacpi then this behavior should stop. I did this and it seems to be better. I hope this helps. Nick

Thanks Nick. I'll try it out. Didn't know about the thread , am a bit behind. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."
Mine shows 100% usage running python and the system monitor. Jerome On Thursday 27 November 2003 21:12, Bill Wisse wrote:
