Thank you! What a relief. echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpeXX
works like a charm, and grep enabled /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/* is a great way to find the offending interrupt. Also, if you get a permission denied error upon using sudo, do this: sudo -s echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpeXX That works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887793 Title: Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/887793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
