i noticed that some times my cpu usage is 100% , although i do not run any programs except maybe a mozilla browser and amarok mp3 player , the point is that it stuke like that all the time ... when i checked to know what proccess causes this i find that it's the Xserver ...
any body know what does this mean ?? and what is the reason of this ?? and how to solve this problem ... !
thank you all very much ,
muhammad-sameer ,
it's the x command it's user is root , it have an argument like this : -
/etc/X11/X -deferglyphs 16:0 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-5MZFyZ ...
it take about 175 MB
You can use the top command to figure out what process is 'sucking up the cpu'.
If the process is X... that is your X Windows (KDE, Gnome, whatever). Some suggestions would be to reduce colour depth (number of colours), use TOP to see which processes are taking the CPU.
If the process X takes the CPU and it is stuck at 100%, what actions did you do immediately prior to that ?
My CPU spikes to 100% occasionally... Sometimes it sits there if I am doing development work with Eclipse, or a database...
the problem as i said previously ... is that i checked to see what proccess sucking up the cpu .. and it did was x .
hmmmm , if i noticed this i reboot other wise it keeps to be like this till i notice it by the mouse pointer slow motion .. is it bad for the cpu to be stucked on 100% for long time ..?!
Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
