I think I have run into this bug with the 185 driver. I got this problem once or twice since upgrading to Karmic. When I eventually was able to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and run top I could not see any specific process hogging the system even though the hogging continued at that time. -- Karmic Frequently

Well, that was quick. It just froze again. And this time with 100% cpu taken by X. I was able to log in from another computer using ssh. That's how I got the top log. On the frozen computer, all I could do was to move the mouse pointer. No response from keyboard whatsoever. However, over ssh

I think it is unlikely to be the hardware at this stage. Here is a link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighCPU to a page that describes troubleshooting procedures for high X loads. Could you please try the first procedure, i.e. killing processes one by one to see if one of them is

It seems that nvidia noticed there was a bug in their driver. The website defaults back to 185.18.36 now, so they must have pulled 190.42 until they get the bug fixed. -- Karmic Frequently Hangs with 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473722 You received this bug notification because you

Thanks for the info. I guess we will have to wait until Nvidia post an updated driver and see what happens then. On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 4:01 PM, Phil pmagn...@gmail.com wrote: It seems that nvidia noticed there was a bug in their driver. The website defaults back to 185.18.36 now, so they

I updated my location in my profile, so hopefully that makes communication easier. Thanks for pointing that out! When you mentioned X-Windows, it made me think that maybe Compiz was the problem. The thing is, I run Compiz on my desktop, but I have compositing disabled on my MythTV box in order

Something that would be worth trying on your desktop machine once you have established that the 185.18.36 driver is stable in your environment, would be to put the new Nvidia driver on and then disable Compiz. This would give us an indication of whether the new driver is likely to be the sole

On the surface, this looks as if it might be a problem somewhere in X-Windows or the software that sits on top. The first step would be to capture the last ~200 lines or so of ~/.xsession-errors and post it here. The next step is to capture some information about what is happening during the
