 |
|
Hi all,
I'm experiencing a really strange problem. When I start the gnome-system-monitor or gedit, the system gets awfully slow and a look at the cpu consumption in the system monitor shows it is using nearly 90% cpu time although the system is doing nothing else than simply running one of the programs in idle mode. Also gedit and gnome-system-monitor don't respond quickly but (as shown in the cpu graph) as though under heavy load. When I terminate the programs and use "top" at the console I get a load of 1 to 5% when the system is idle. How is that possible?
Details:
Gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r8, 8k stack size
Gnome 2.6.1
Gtk+ 2.4.3
xorg-x11-6.7.0
The problem occurred a few days ago when I switched from gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7 to g-d-s-2.6.7-r6. At the same time I also upgraded Gtk from 2.4.1 to 2.4.3 and Glib from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2. Today I switched from g-d-s-2.6.7-r6 to -r8, but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone here experiences the same problems.
Greetz and thanks in advance,
tf

I had another look at cpu consumption when gnome-system-monitor (gsm) is running. First of all, I was wrong, gsm "only" consumes up to 15% cpu power, but X is using up to 80%! The problem occurs, when I switched to the "Resource Monitor". After that, even switching back to the process view will change nothing, the system is slow to unresponsive and top shows ca. 95% cpu load.
top looks like this, when gsm is running:
| Code: |
top - 17:43:25 up 1:48, 2 users, load average: 0.43, 0.47, 0.27
Tasks: 76 total, 2 running, 73 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
Cpu(s): 94.4% us, 2.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 3.3% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si

| I finally solved the mystery: it was the new gtk2 theme (Yattacier 3) I was using... after switching to another theme, the problem disappeared. |
