events/0 takes over my cpu
This seems to happen every time that I boot up - both in KDE and Gnome - both as root and as user. After about 15 minutes or so of poking around a process called events/0 starts eating up about 80% of my processor making my fan go on full volume and the computer starts working very slowly.
I'm on a Compaq Presario 2700 laptop. It's an i686 processor. I just upgraded to FC2. Any thoughts? Thomas |
i've noticed funny things on FC2 as well, a process called whatitis and this is run by root and then another process gs-thumbnails or something which is run by me, my laptop fans start spinning and processor is using over 80% as well. This doesn't always happen, but so far it's happened 3 times.

I've noticed gst-thumbnails also. When that one starts eating up my processor I'm able to kill it with system monitor, with events/0 I'm not. I have to fully reboot. One time I was slow to kill the gst-thumbnails process and it disappeared before I could kill it and then immediately after events/0 took over. Maybe the 2 are related.

use ps aux | grep events/0 from a terminal, then su to root and run kill -9 PID where PID is the process id number.

I meet the same problem. How can I stop events/0 permanently? I can kill it or lower the priority (not need to kill it) once I boot the OS, however, it's actived again when another bootup.
