Ubuntu :: Gnome-Do Using 100% Processor Usage On Start Up
Feb 6, 2010
So I have 64bit Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my laptop and I noticed one day on boot that everything I did was running very slowly. Upon cracking open terminal and running top to see what was bogging the system I found that gnome-do was taking up 100% of my processor...
This happens around 50% of the time when I boot I've noticed. Killing the processor and restarting Gnome-Do makes the application behave as it should.
Ideas on why this might be? Just a bad 64bit version in the repos I'm guessing? Might try and compile a new version from source later today.

Gnome-shell uses high percent of CPU (more than 90%) on Xorg. I have debian jessie on a Asus N53 ( Core i7 and Nvidia GT550 with nvidia optimus). I also installed bumblebee but nothing changed.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and I am experiencing an ultra high memory usage of the gnome-settings-daemon of 2GB after suspend! Killing and restarting the daemon solves the issue. Anybody else with this behavior?

I am running a HP dc5750 dual core computer with a 512MB Nvidia 7200/7300 graphics card my operating system is Ubuntu 10.10. Both my processors are operating at 98-104% cpu usage, it appears that gnome-appearance-properties is the culprit and the only way to return to normal is to end these processes. I have been setting up the desktop cube to my liking and the processor appears to rise up to 100% again. Would getting a 1GB graphics card correct this or is this a bug in maverick meerkat. Any advice would be appreciated. Please keep it simply as I am a Newbie to Linux and find things over-whelming at times. Also would running at 100% on both processors at indefinite periods of time harm my computer.

I was trying to get the status of memory usage and disk usage using sigar in windows and ubuntu. done this in windows by just copying the sigar library into jdk library. But i was unable to do so in ubuntu. I've copied the library to java-6-sun library but still can't run the program.

I'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:
Code:
[root@Zion ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[code]....

It should give me daily internet usage stats something/vaguely like this:-I have tried ntop and darkstat ,but they were too complicated and cannot be launched from notification area like this..Also tried using KtrafficAnlyzer by installing KDE core, i am not very amused by the idea of having to install a massive run time file package for a simple tool.

Im having an issue getting GDM to start.. i recently reformatted my server, and put 10.04 on there.. loving it so far.. well, the whole time i was testing it, i left a monitor hooked up the whole time..
So, this weekend, i rearranged the room its in, and hooked it back up, with no monitor.. I can still SSH, ftp, and use gnump3d.. i mean, basically anything that does not need X will run.. just cant get it to start..
this is the error i get when trying to start it via an ssh session

Been running 6.06 for 5 years with no problems! On logging on as normal gnome doesn't start and I just have an orange screen with a working mouse pointer. Have tried to remove and reinstall gnome but am getting a lot of failed to fetch errors. Any help appreciated. I don't really want to re-install yet.

I have a very strange trouble with gnome/X11/Adapter/memory, I really don't know! When I upgrade my memory to 2Gb (1Gb+1Gb), graphic mode not starting! Load only console, but gnome not load. And besides error message not showing. 'starx' command leads to black screen and nothing happends, keyboard doesn't work too. if I leave 1Gb memory, all working perfectly! tell me where I can find log-message or how I can solve that problem. In /var/log I can't found anything interesting.

I'm having issues logging into my system... After authenticating via GDM, the screen goes black with only the mouse showing and remains this way indefinitely. At first the hard disk is active to a similar degree as it was when logins were successful, but then the system (apart from being able to move the mouse) is unresponsive.
If left for long enough so that the screen goes into power-saving mode, moving the mouse brings up the unlock dialogue that you normally get if you set your computer to lock itself after a period of idleness.
I suspect some sort of file corruption, as I have not changed any settings recently. I have forced checks on all of my disks in the hope it would solve this problem. I have also tested logging in on a freshly created user account I created which gives the same result. Also, starting an xterm session from GDM works fine.

After installing some updates recently, 10.10 boots into a command line. I have to type sudo gdm to get into Gnome, at which point it works fine. How can I make it start Gnome automatically again?

I've recently updated to Ubuntu 10.10. At first I had no problems, but after the third time I logged in, my desktop background appeared (and nothing else) but quickly flashed to a black screen with some error messages (too fast for me to see) and I got sent to the login screen. After trying some more times I got the same problem with some small differences(sometimes my desktop icons showed up, other times it took a couple of minutes before I got kicked out).
I tried running startx from the terminal but got one of these two error messages: Server already running or could not find any listening ports. If I run "sudo startx -- :1" to switch the port I login fine, but as the root user. Gnome works perfectly here and when I login in gnome-failsafe. This leads to believe it has something to do with my user configuration. I've restarted xorg server, installed gnome-main-menu and made sure if got the current gnome package.

I installed 11.04 on a Dell inspiron 1420. When I logged in I got an error message (lack of hw) so Gnome was loaded. Then I installed the nVidia drivers. Now, how do I start unity ? If I select "ubuntu" in the splash screen I still get Gnome.

starting the gnome GUI.
Environment is Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, server edition.
I have installed the ubuntu-desktop package with apt-get, which reported a successful installation. I also installed firefox the same way.
When I run the command "firefox", I get this response: "Error: no display specified". Thinking I might need to run it from the GUI, I tried "startx" (command I found elsewhere on this forum). Response was: "Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0".
Why run GUI and/or Firefox on a server? The second instruction on the Symfony 2.0 install procedure is to "check the configuration" by accessing http://localhost/Symfony/web/config.php.
I first tried that from my Win-7 workstation, substituting the server's IP address for localhost in the URL above. The response from that is "This script is only accessible from localhost."
SO ... I'm trying to run firefox directly on the server, so that I can access the localhost version of that URL, to follow Symfony's instructions.
how I can get FF (or any other browser) running on the server?

Since upgrading from Heron to Lynx (64 bit) Gnome is slow to start. It seems like it is waiting for some sort of automated timeout, since the harddrive stops in the middle of Gnome startup (after login) for around 10 secs or so. Is there a logfile of the startup-sequence somewhere that I could look at and/or post here?

I recently got the last round of updates, including linux kernel 2.6.32.26. after several programs froze up (i hadn't restarted since the update) i restarted only to find that Gnome starts up into a different look than I had it setup to (normally with a custom theme and without a login prompt). it now starts with a more basic theme and a login prompt which won't accept my password. something similar had happened before and i fixed it by booting into recovery mode and running dpkg, and having to reboot more than once but it returned to normal. I tried running it again and it hasn't worked, so I must ask for advice. I am working from Fedora 10 on the same computer.

I've scheduled a task in gnome-schedule to run at each reboot. When I click on "preview task" it initiates a one-time run just fine. However, after reboot it just doesn't want to start the task.

I use ubuntu 10.04 in VirtualBox (upgrated from 09.10), host os is Win7.
3-4 days ago update of ubuntu required restart of Ubuntu (linux kernel was updated).
After 3 days (i.e. yesterday) I restarted the system. I found that flashlib in Chrome became to work unstable, some artefact appeared, and only scrolling down-up in browser allowed to update view of screen. I run update manager. It showed ~88Mb of updates for last 3 days.
After download of updates, apply changes was failed! I faced this first time (!). I remember message like "can not synchronize file /usr/share/..." or something like that.
I restarted ubuntu again. Now I could not login. System hangs after login. No Gnome menu appears etc.
I tried to fix issue using dpkg. I found that some lib (ure) related to OpenOffice was not assigned (version XXX required, but bersion XXXY found). dpkg offered to solve this by some combination. I did so. Then I run dpkg update, and no errors appeared.
Also I updated VirtualBox to version 3.2.4, updated VirualBox Additions via console terminal in ubuntu.
But still I can't fix problem with gdm/gnome.
dpkg-reconfigure gnome-*** did not help for me.
I tried to check logs, but I have not found something "interesting".
At the moment terminal is the only way to login.

I was just wondering if this was possible without using guake or yakuake or the like: I have a shortcut (alt+shift+c) to open a gnome-terminal window. (done via compiz keyboard commands)However, what if I wanted it to fokus a gnome-terminal (specific?) if one(it) exists and only start a new terminal, if it isn't already running? I looked up and down the compiz settings, not seeing anything to help me focus a specific window.

I'd like to start Tomboy (the sticky-note application) at start-up but have it minimized to the Gnome panel. I tried adding tomboy to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, but then Tomboy opens up in full-screen mode. Then I tried adding tomboy-panel instead, but that doesn't seem to do anything at all. What's the trick I'm missing?
