Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain

Is it possible to add this fix to repos? It's so much easier to monitor possible updates through there than individual files from the forums. Thanks for the fix anyways!

I think this is worked on by MohammadAG and others (this is what is called the 'community SSU').

As I understand it, one can't just add this package to the extras repo because the one in Nokia's repos is given preference. If tried it would either cause dependency problems or be completely ignored.

So what if you want to revert back to teh original hildon-desktop for some reason?

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain

I hope you don't mind me asking but what's the command to unpin? I honestly didn't read the entire thread, if it is in the thread you can guide me or I'll just go read it all

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain

Instructions here. The last line of code has a typo in it though, it should be "killall hildon-desktop" not "kill-all hildon-desktop"

Re: Bug report: hildon-desktop cpu usage, result=causes slow battery drain

tomast

sorry... just to clarify

so, after clicking the link you gave,

just install dpkg -i as root and killall hildon desktop

and that's it right?

do I need to restart the device?

No need to restart the device. Also make sure you pin as per the first post else when you upgrade using app manager your hildon-desktop would be over written.
