Done. Would be a shame if mythtv was to blame though; I was hoping to use it someday. I'm going to leave the tracker throttled though, since I basically don't use it. >One program that can cause long-duration CPU hogging is aMule.

I've seen these occasionally but they haven't caused me any harm. My clock shows the correct time... perhaps there's some other indicator that my computer and I aren't operating in the same timezone? >Don't give up on Ubuntu. You'll find the culprit soon. >Rob Well, I've done what I can for now, it's just a matter of seeing if it happens again. On the whole, I've had a fantastic time running Ubuntu. I don't feel that I'm learning as much gritty low-level stuff as with Debian, but Gutsy was stable, well-behaved, and I could do a lot with it. I once had to reboot after accumulating over a month of uptime, and fsck told me that it had to run because it had been over 200 days since the filesystem had been checked (ergo, I hadn't rebooted for the better part of a year). The attraction of distros like Gentoo and Slackware to me is the prospect of configuring and tooling with every aspect of my system, setting it up exactly how I want it and feeling proud of having put together a working system. I'll probably save that for my home machine though; my laptop just has to work. Thanks for your help. I'll update my other bug-report in case my results pan out. ~jdacronym -- Hardy Heron locks up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249123 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
