Did you install the advanced-power app?

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

"some software"
Hmmm. To help you and other it would not hurt to list what you have updated :|

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Yes. I've instaleed it and the uninstalled as it wasn't workin.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

same here, installed advanced power and de-install, did a restore back-up and still has it, need to report this bug to the advance power thread.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Advanced-Power should be the reason for Xorg's 100%. Even after uninstall, reboot and so on...

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Advanced-Power?
Okey. So this is just normal day in boots of devel tester?

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

exactly the same problem here. advanced power monitor seems to be the culprit. my xorg ist constantly running @ 70%. my n900 consumes about 10% battery in 20mins now.

any help on stopping this xorg rampage would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Geez

Well, I guess I get to learn how to flash my device....arg.... lucky Arch Linux has the flasher application in the AUR.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

i also have the same problem i have unistalled advanced power but xorg still running at 100% any solutions out there?

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

This thread needs a bump. Re-installing xserver-xorg-core does not fix.

I'm about to tear into the package to see what it does, unless the developer advises of how to fix the problem. I've emailed him, and hope he drops in soon.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

let me know if you find a solution straight away cause im gettin close on reflshing but dont really wanna do that cause i have so many tweeks apps & custom icons etc i dont wanna have to pretty much re do my hole phone cause of this problem!

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Sit tight, thread will be updated as soon as the problem is located.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

thank you very much i appreciate your help & look foward to sorting the problem, while i am waiting i may upload some of my mods 2 this site as i have been using it for a while now but only just registered lol

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

FIXED.

Manually remove /etc/event.d/apmonitord and reboot / kill the xserver.

The project bugtracker is broken, so...

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

ok deleted the file & now rebooting, how do i kill the xserver?

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Rebooting is enough.

Please advise if this fixes for you.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

i can confirm this is now fixed for me thank you very much

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

seems to have worked!
hawaii, you saved my entire vacation! if we ever meet, i gonna buy you a beer. thanks so much!

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

this is awesome!

thanks yo! :)

EDIT: i cant buy you a beer as quingu offers, but if you can give me a link where i can click and give you my deepest thanks, that is a thing i will do :)

this issue restrained me from OC'ing

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Problem is due to package advanced-power-monitor.

Vote it down due to a broken post-uninstall script and a bad bugtracker link?

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Amazing that there is so helpful people around here but have to say something.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel

"If you want to play with extras-devel software you need to be prepared to feel some pain sooner or later. "

"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't play with it unless you really know what you are doing. Be ready to file proper bug reports instead of posting complaints. "

But everything went quite nicely. Just to remember some users that if you play with devel BE PREPARED!

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Thanks man!! you saved my day. :)
Worked flawlessly.
You Rock \m/. :rolleyes:

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Wow, MAHALO HAWAII !

I was really not looking forward to flashing the phone.


Ya, your right slender. I'll keep it simple form now on.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Geez, where were you guys last night. I ultimately had to flash my phone this morning just before going to work (yes, I was late). I really didn't want to have to flash it and that's why I put it off. I also didn't want to fix all of my mods (transitions, icons...etc) again but that damn xorg would not quit. It was relentlessly heating my cpu up at 100%. I'm slowly re-adding apps that didn't get backed up for some reason (leafpad, MC, emelfm2, rootsh) among others... :rolleyes:

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

hey guys I tried to remove apmonitord with cuteexplorer, but it fails. Could you help please? :)

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

For sure!

Please be kind and first read thread (FULLY) where you are posting and tell us did the hints&tips help. Also be specific what have you done.

.edit
Do you know how to use xterm?

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

well I installed advanced power and noticed that my phone was heating up like crazy... So I unistalled it, but the thing is that the xorg process still takes 90+ cpu usage :S. hmm not really, I just use it to overclock ,etc... any ideas? ;)

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Manually remove /etc/event.d/apmonitord and reboot / kill the xserver.

Thats it.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

@cedlmw,
Have you tried to do as user hawaii in this thread?

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

hmm by manually do u mean by using a pc or xterm? I dont really know how to use the latter. I did find the file by using cute explorer but when I try to delete it(using cuteexplorer) it says "deleting file apmonitord failed"

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

You must be root !!!

open Xterm
Type root
Type mc (MidnightCommander)

go to /etc/event.d/apmonitord

F8= delete

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

it works!!! thanks a lot ;)

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Hi i had the same problem and thanx to the thread i managed to fix the problem.. Now is there a way we can vote down Advanced Power App from the extras-devel..

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

thanks worked perfectly!!!

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

This is getting seriously annoying. Could a moder close this thread? The answer is given. It is simle as 2+2=4. Even a noob like me could do it so it's not a black magic and people start to ask the same questio when the answer is given 4 posts above.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

I just faced this issue too.
Many many thanks for solution. :)

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

i was installed and uninstalled apm/ap too....but when i try to find apmonitord , it doesn't exist...weird....maybe its fully uninstalled....i'm on pr1.2 but i can fell my device getting slow and eat much battery....no idea!!

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

Open Xterm and run "top" or install "htop" and look the Prozess with high CPU and MEM.

Re: Xorg running constatntly at 95-97% of cpu
 

No, that's why it's extras-devel - the apps are in development and may cause issues ranging right the way up to bricking the phone.
