Same issue. Couldn't determine which process was taking up so much CPU time and top only showed a handful of precesses doing anything at all. Top showed vino hitting 5% now and again, but as soon as I uninstalled I went from 100% usage of one core down to normal (almost nothing).
Important to note that I have been running 9.04 for a couple weeks and this just suddenly cropped up. It hadn't been a problem, so something clearly triggered it and despite multiple reboots the issue persisted until the uninstall. This bug was seriously irritating to track down. -- excessive CPU usage in 9.04- no apparent reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366292 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
