I have encountered this bug on two systems. One is a reasonably new Lenovo Laptop and the other is a very old Dell Desktop (specifications available if anyone is interested).
On the desktop machine it started when I upgraded to Oneiric. My first two approaches was to install the Kubuntu-ppa and then the Kubuntu- ppa/backports. Neither did any good, the problem remained. When I check htop I find an insane list of processes; akonadi akonadi_agent_launcher, mysql-processes related to akonadi and so on. The only way to get a working system is to kill them all. I tried 'akonadictl restart' and 'akonadictl stop' with no noticeable result. But I have a vague memory of the laptop not having this problem any more. It was replaced with a newer model (that did not suffer from this bug) this last christmas, so I have not used it in some time. In a week I might be able to check that out again, and report back what is different with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909022 Title: Various akonadi processes use 100% CPU and 200% RAM at every KDE session startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/akonadi/+bug/909022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
