Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Gnome-sreensaver uses by default gl and non-gl screensavers too. On older PCs and some notebooks most opengl ones need/use more than 80% of the CPU's capacity. This may cause problems by default too (high temperature etc.). If someone changes user with the fast-user-switch applet or using the new Ubuntu logout screen, after 10 minutes screensaver may start using resources. This causes for me a CPU usage of 80% by "default" (with one other user). The simpliest workaround is choosing "blank screen" as screensaver. ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- User switching burns CPU without video accleration https://launchpad.net/bugs/55066 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
