I'm running Ultimate Edition 2.0 64bit. When I'm running Firefox and I'm not doing anything on it it starts to use the disk intensively. I checked on terminal using the top command and it IS Firefox using up to 85-90% of the resources. Anyone know what the problem is here? Can it be hacked? I already uninstalled and installed back again and it still doing it.

I'd like to have this script run when the machine starts up, and constantly run in the background.How should I achieve this? I want the script to regardless of whether anyone is logged in or not, so I can't put it in any bash-related files.

Good day, installed ubuntu 10.04 64bit yesterday on my laptop just to test everything before the release at the end of the month. However I took a look at my System Monitor and my second CPU(2) is constantly running at 100%, however theirs no apparent processes to cause this.

Everything was fine for the first 6 months. Now in the past couple weeks, my disk drive is running nearly constantly. I can hear it rattling away in the background no matter what I am doing. Typically, I just have Firefox open, and that disk drive is sounding like it's writing the whole thing over and over.
I've opened the system monitor and looked for something obvious, but everything says, "sleeping". The computer seems to operate fine - no crashes, no odd behavior. What's this thing doing?
Today Firefox is freezing and the HDD is running constantly. I ran into this problem about a year ago on an earlier version of Ubuntu and was able to solve the problem but can't remember what the solution was

View 1 Replies View RelatedSince yesterday firefox (Namoroka) has been constantly freezing; prior to yesterday it worked perfectly. I've tried un-installing and re-installing, but that didn't fix it. I even tried un-installing Namoroka and installing firefox 3.5 (via apt-get install firefox-3.5), but somehow I continue to get firefox 3.6 (aka Namoroka). Anyone know how to resolve my Namoroka issues or how to install the seemingly more stable 3.5 version? I don't know if this makes a difference, but I originally had installed ubuntu and then installed kde (kubuntu-desktop) desktop on top of it. And yes, I've checked my sources.list to make sure mozilla-daily repository is not listed.
View 3 Replies View Relatedthis isn't so much slackware specific as it is general linux related, but using the default huge slackware kernel included with 13.1, acpi reports cpu temps of about 55 celsius i always like to run my own kernels though, and using the latest stable kernel, i have compiled one using what i believe is necessary for my hardware, and everything works as expected except that acpi reports my cpu temp as 80 celsius at idle, causing my fan to be running constantly
so without simply using the generic config included with slack in the newer kernel, what do you think might be causing the thermal issues? i used diff on the two configs and the output is over 5,000 lines, so thats not a huge help, and im really not even sure what to be looking for the cpu is an intel i7 720qm, so if anyone might know any specific settings for that processor type needed for acpi to interface with it properly that would be much obliged here is my config for potential review: [URL] also, if i disable acpi entirely, the fan operates as normal but i cannot get readings obviously
Every day I use the top command to check the processes running on my Kubuntu 10.10 system. Every day I find that apt-get is running under the root account and using 100% of the CPU. It'll run forever if I let it but I use "killall" to stop it. Pressing the "c" key in top shows the command used to start the process and doing that I see that apt-get is being started with "apt-get -qq -y update". The -qq param is for quiet mode and the -y is to answer yes to any questions. The important thing is the update parameter. It seems that some "feature" of Ubuntu is starting apt-get in update mode for me on a daily basis. I installed Kubuntu only 3 days ago and I don't recall turning this "feature" on anywhere. How can I disable this "feature" and prevent the system from auto-starting apt-get.?
