Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vpnc
Given that network-manager-vpnc is not supported for Feisty (See Bug #94889), I tried to use vpnc manually. After configuring vpnc manually, I'm able to establish a vpn connection with vpnc. The bug is that as soon as vpnc establishes the vpn connection, kded cpu utilization goes to 90%+ CPU usage. I think this issue is related to the feature introduced in Feisty where applications only use the network when K Network Manager is Online. Probably kded is not intelligent about vpnc and K Network Manager's vpnc support is broken. With this, using vpnc on Kubuntu is difficult because Kubuntu relies on K Network Manager and K Network Manager doesn't have vpnc support and (vpnc + kded) has a bug. ** Affects: vpnc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- vpnc causes kded to consume 100% cpu https://launchpad.net/bugs/99428 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
