I'm also seeing artsd consuming all my CPU. Worse yet, I can't stop it. If I kill the process it just respawns. Since artsd isn't mentioned in inittab, I don't know how to prevent it from constantly respawning. I closed every KDE program and killed kdeinit, but artsd keeps respawning.
This is Linux. I should not have to reboot to stop a stupid program from running. The only thing I can think here is to completely remove all KDE programs from my system. Suggestions? Can I help you debug in any way?
