Artsd Overloading CPU in Xubuntu
When my laptop hard drive died a week ago, I installed the 6.10 relaease Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu because Ubuntu locks up after the login process. It freezes right before the Ubuntu sound/chime end.
Xubuntu suppose to be leaner than the other Ubuntu variants. But it feel sluggish on my presario laptop especially when alt-tab switching between applications. Running top shows it consume as much memory as the regular Ubuntu. I’m still good with that.
The decision to reinstall Ubuntu came when the frequency of artsd overloading the CPU increased. Just today I had to restart the laptop 3 times because artsd use 99% of CPU resources making it generate more heat than the usual. I already lost a hard drive and I don’t plan to change processors anytime soon.

wanted to install Ubunto on my older Thinkpad. I’ve only played with Redhat and Fedora before so I searched around to see if someone has already done so on this particular Thinkpad model. Yes, a few people have they’ve fried it.

I’ve found a workaround to my laptop and ubuntu problems. My laptop does not like the generic kernel (a optimized for 686) so I installed the 386 one.
Anyway, thanks for sending Dinagyang 2007 Schedule of Activities my way. I’ll try to make it to the EB on feb 1st. Are you going?

I can’t make it. Hehe. When your site takes on a life of its own, even EB’s are planned without your permission or consent. But I am happy for them.
