This does not make sense to me. by "clean install" do you mean you have not added the update repo and performed an update?

No, I mean that I installed originally to a new partition, not an upgrade of an earlier version of openSuse. I have done all suggested security updates. I am running an onboard nvidia 6200 chip with default neuveau driver.

What does top show you when the CPU is pegged at 99%?
Top shows dbus-daemon using 90+ % CPU. I don't know what is causing that.
running 'dbus-monitor' should give you a clue what is using dbus so much
Regards, Tejas
OK, after a reboot, and before the dbus-daemon is taking excessive cpu cycles (i.e. not load on the machine at present) running dbus-monitor gives the following. I don't know how to interpret this. signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.89 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired string ":1.89" method call sender=:1.89 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=3 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='method_call'" method call sender=:1.89 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=4 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='method_return'" method call sender=:1.89 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=5 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='error'" Perhaps something here eventually takes off in some loop? Or something else does? Thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
