@Christopher Lees Thank you for helping me to track down this bug. Yes, the solution was in the logs, but no, it was not the upgrade to 2.6.22. Had it been, the bug would have bitten on the first reboot with the new kernel and not after several reboots. The culprit --- and Bug #115616 demonstrates this amply --- was the package "evms" (Enterprise Volume Management System) which was installed in the download which began to be logged at 0131 local time. It was only on a restart after this download that the bug bit. I have removed the package evms, restarted the machine and am mercifully free once more of this debilitating bug :-)
I am not going to mark this bug report immediately as a dupe of Bug #115616. I did not open this bug and it is only right to give other subscribers a chance to state whether their problems are also caused by the evms package. If anyone reports an ongoing problem BUT does not have evms on their system, then we have a separate problem requiring a separate bug report. -- udevd causes high cpu-usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
