CPU 100% all times
Since a several days, I started to notice that my Fedora 20 is very slow, I ma using KDE and not Gnome. Wgen I fire system nonitor, I see RAM is around 60%, CPU shooting constantly 100 to 99%.
I opened a command line, ran top, getting "system-config-s" constantly not less than 95% Quote:

You need to get the full name of the process, "system-config-s" is truncated. Get the PID and then run "ps -fp PID" to get the full name. For example, in your output above, the PID is 64461, so you would run "ps -fp 64461".
Did you have any programs open when you ran "top"? Also use [code] tags, not [quote] tags in order to maintain formatting when posting output here. |
Thanks, here is the output
root 64461 1 90 Apr04 ? 22:26:57 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/system-config-services/system-config-services-mechanism.py Yes, there were other programs running at the same time (Firefox, gedit) |
I don't use Fedora at all, but system-config-services is, like the name indicates, a graphical service configuration tool. Do you see a window for it on your desktop? Do you remember running a service configuration tool (e.g. to enable to daemon to start at boot time) recently? If not, I usually figure it's some sort of buggy process that keeps running. My usual first course of action is to try to kill it (and then use "kill -9" if that doesn't work). If it goes away and doesn't come back, it's usually just a buggy program that got out of control...

Hi. When the daemons get out of control you have to kill them.
Code:
killall system-config-services-mechanism.py Code:
yum erase system-config-services |
Yes I have run KDE services configuration, when I saw this, I rebooted, but still see this process in spite of the fact that I did not run any config applet
|
Is it still consuming 100 of the CPU? It might be something that's supposed to run in the background...

After doing
sudo killall system-config-services-mechanism.py CPU usage went down to 30-35 |
