@Alex: the sudo -i / su thing it's pretty strange just because we are using the same laptop and the same ubuntu 12.10... anyway it is not a great issue to deal with. For other users is good to have mine or your solution to get the same result.
<offtopic>If I was a MBP retina owner I surely leave this Samsung/Ubuntu headache (even if I got a sort of ubuntu-nostalgia thinking at this :D); for me, this Samsung is the low-cost version of the more or less equivalent (and probably better) MBP-retina, so I've tried to makes ubuntu work on it as good as possible and solving this kworker issue is good enough for me (the low sound of the fans always on, the backlit which can't be shout off and the two-finger taps is not a big issue for me).</offtopic> Sorry for the offtopic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887793 Title: Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/887793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
