I had the same problem. i had installed Intrepid after reformatting my / partition but still had /home left over from Fedora. I ended up with high CPU usage. I reformatted again to Hardy and the problem was gone. I've just followed the Upgrade process to go Intrepid and the problem has come back.
I tried removing compiz (as I never use it) and that did nothing, and spotted the entry above to remove ~/.config/autostart/metacity.desktop and this seems to have done the trick. -- CPU always 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
