100% CPU use

I have opened a tab with PDF file inside a Firefox window (on Linux) and closed it.
After this the following command is running and is taking 100% of CPU time.
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /opt/Adobe/Reader8/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread --display 0:0 -progressPipe 3 -exitPipe 4
So, there are a bug in Acroreader 8.1.3 for Linux.

1. Are you using Gnome or Kde or some other window manager?
I use Gnome with Sawfish window manager.
2. What is the version of firefox in use?
3.0.5
3. How did you install Reader. Using tar/rpm ?
Using .rpm
4. Acroread is being run by normal user or root?
Normal user
5. System is 32bit or 64bit?
32bit
6. Please launch firefox, type "about:config" in address bar, and press Enter. Then type "path" in Filter. Make sure plugin.expose_full_path has "true" against it, if not make it true.
then in Address bar, type "about:plugins",and do Enter. What "File name" you see for Adobe Reader 8.1.3 plugins detail.
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so

  • Some web pages causing 100% CPU use of iexplore.exe since Flash update

    I'm having a problem with certain Amazon.com pages hanging my
    Internet Explorer 6 using Flash Player 10,0,12,36, causing 100% CPU
    use for iexplore.exe and requiring me to End Task to quit. All the
    pages effected have an interactive mouseover Size and Color chart
    that intially says "Loading" but then says "Select Size and Color"
    once loaded. One mouseovers the various color patches and size
    options, each time giving item availability in that option. When
    the pages hang the IE browser with 100% CPU use that chart never
    gets to the "Select Size and Color" point, instead stuck at the
    "Loading" status. This happens most times, but not every time.
    Sometimes the pages load correctly, after a brief lag as it loads
    the chart.
    Amazon pages without this chart load fine.
    The start of this problem coincides with updating Flash.
    I can prevent the problem from happening almost every time if
    I can quickly get my cursor into that chart area while the page
    begins loading. If I allow the pages to load fully with no
    interaction they will hang almost every time.
    I have not noticed any problems on those same web pages using
    Firefox using Flash Player 9,0,124,0
    I also have not noticed any issues with other sites using
    Internet Explorer either. (YouTube, QVC, CNN...etc, all OK.)
    I had posted for assistance on the Experts Exchange site and
    there was some debate on whether the chart was a Java or
    Flash-based chart, so initially it was being approached as a
    possible Java issue, so I removed all Java versions on the system
    and installed various versions, but the same problem persists.
    I've downloaded but not run the Flash Uninstaller, as I'm
    reluctant to uninstall the Firefox Flash version without knowing
    for sure I could install 9,0,124,0 again.
    I've downloaded an archived fp9_archive.zip, which seems to
    indicate the contained files flashplayer9r124_winax.exe (Internet
    Explorer) and flashplayer9r124_win.exe (Netscape) would be versions
    9,0,124,0 to install after running the uninstaller.
    Can anyone check a few of the links below and see if the
    "Select Size and Color" chart is Flash based? If so, would
    executing the files listed above install 9,0,124,0 into my
    respective browsers again?

  • 100% CPU using LabView 7.1 and DSC module

    Seven years ago I used BridgeView and PXI to execute a project, and the results were so good that after that initial system, I installed one more using BridgeView, and three more using LabView 7.1.
    BridgeView is working very well, but lately, LabView 7.1 is giving me more and more problems. It all started in a system running LabView 7.1 and DSC on Windows XP, using a PXI-8187 controller with a PXI-1042 chassis. I have two PXI-6533 digital I/O boards, one PXI-6030E multifunction, one PXI-6713 analog output board, one PXI-6602 counter board and one PXI-8422 serial com. board. In may/06, all of the sudden, the CPU went to a 100% use. Since I am running PID's to control a flash-butt welding machine in a steel factory, this was extremely dangerous. I changed the controller and everything went back to normal. It was running fine until december/06, when the same behavior appeared again. This time changing the controller did not help. We increased the system memory, from 256 MB to 512 MB and everything worked fine. But one month later (january/07) the fault reappeared. This time we changed the chassis and from that moment to this time, we are running smoothly.
    Application problems were suspect from the very first time this problem appeared, but I was unable to identify the source, if any. I used PROFILE VI's and apparently the write/read tags were taking all the processor resources. However, changing the routines and disabling communications, and optimizing CPU intensive programs never solved the CPU overload.
    Until now, I was aware of only one system showing this erratic behavior. But today I went to check another system, with a totally different application. This one is used to measure the thickness of the steel sheet on a rolling mill. Is not so resource-intensive, but the maintenance folks told me that every time they turned off this particular system, they always had problems trying to turn it on.
    I was suspecting of a PLC-communication related issue, but what I found turned my alarms on. I turned off the system, which was fully functional, and turned it back on, and there it was, CPU load at 100%!. Is exactly the same problem that I have on the welder. This system has a PXI-8184, a PXI-1042 chassis, Windows XP, one PXI-6030E, one PXI-6713 and one PXI-6533. I battled for 20 minutes to put the system back in normal conditions.
    I specified every single board, installed everything and programmed all the applications. The BridgeView applications have never showed anything like this. I am using the DSC (Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module) on both applications, and the Lookout Protocol Drivers are communicating to Modicon PLC's.
    Please, I need help to solve this issue. I believe none of your actual Knowledge Base "100% CPU" articles apply to my case...
    Thanks in advance...
    Antonio Jimenez
    [email protected]

    Thanks for your reply...
    Yes, sometimes I have the feeling that the systems works again because some file or database gets initialized after so many reboots.
    Intentionally I turned off all the events and alarm logging to disk. Also the historical data logging is disabled. This is done by code, every time the main VI is started. This was included precisely to save CPU processing power. However, I am communicating to PLC's, and of course I have to declare variables inside the citadel database to make the communication possible.
    Right now I can't have access to the application, because the mill is rolling, but during the next maintenance stop I will check the database location and size, and I could change the directory location the next time the fault comes up.

  • 100% CPU use making me want to cry with 3 browsers

    I am using an Athlon XP 2500+ laptop/notebook with 1gb RAM
    and am having high CPU problems with Firefox 2.0.0.3 (no
    extensions), Opera 9.2 and IE.7.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and Shockwave and
    uninstalled my AV, HIPS and firewall - temporarily!
    The following web slideshow makes any browser reach 100% CPU
    and causes the mouse to seriously lag on each browser.
    http://www.koat.com/slideshow/news/13245211/detail.html
    This high usage is constant, even when the mouse is not being
    touched and the page is not moving or playing music, etc.
    Strangely, if the controls of the slideshow are scrolled off
    the screen, then CPU returns to normal: <10%
    So I only get slowdown when I can SEE the buttons that move
    on to the next slide!
    Can anyone help?

  • DW.exe 100% CPU use

    I'm using DW CS3 on a Dell laptop, XP-SP2, 1gig Ram, 1.6ghz
    processor. After 15 to 30 minutes of normal behavior DW starts
    using 99% of CPU cycles (according to Windows Task Manager) for 3
    to 5 minutes, effectively freezing the system. This can happen
    while doing normal code editing, or it can happen when absolutely
    nothing is going on. It will then release the system, but when you
    click on something, it goes right back into 99% CPU use. It doesn't
    seem to be associated with file transfers, but Task Manager does
    report "I/O Other" activity as though it's doing something on the
    internet.
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks!!!

    Are you running an antivirus on this box? Is it scanning
    realtime?

  • External CD/DVD burner sends OSX into 100% CPU use, cddafs.util file

    Hi,
    I have a LaCie external CD/DVD burner (301484U) which I use a replacement for the SuperDrive that died in my Powerbook 15" DL, connecting by Firewire. Lately, instead of mounting CDs, it causes the cddafs.util file to take up whatever is left of my CPU sending it into 100% use. Ejecting using F12 and using the button on the drive to eject no longer work. I have to turn the drive off and turn it back on again to eject the disc.
    I will ask LaCie too but wanted to see what anyone might say here as well. The drive is relatively new, bought in September. Sometimes CDs mount, sometimes they don't.
    I'd be happy to supply more info but am not sure what is needed at this point.
    One weird thing happened that might be related. Yesterday I was recording a record to be made into a CD using Final Vinyl and in the middle of the recording it gave me a blue screen with two sets of vertical black lines, freezing the machine. I rebooted and all was fine. I ran Disk Utility and other than a few permissions needing to be fixed, all was well. Nothing interesting in the trash upon restart.
    Thanks for any help.
    Cheers,
    John L

    It works in the other account so it should be a file in my normal account right? (I misinterpreted what you meant by "doing it".) If it didn't work in the other account then it would be a hardware problem, possibly the power supply, right?
    I'll move the CD Info.cidb file to the Desktop as you suggest. I hope that file isn't too corrupt. Over the years I've lost what CDs I've played from problems with that file. (I have actually kept track of most every CD since my first Mac, with the exception of what I've lost from crashes. I use a program or two to read it. A good one is iCDC for example.)

  • Xtorrent + DirectoryService = 100% CPU use

    if I try to start xtorrent the DirectoryService goes nuts and uses 100% of the CPU - I can't do anything until I shut down xtorrent.

  • Kernel26MM: 100% CPU use, non-stop?

    I just installed the latest MM kernel, and discovered that, after half an hour of uptime or so, the CPU usage jumps to 100% and refuses to come back down. Listing the running processes shows me that none of them are eating up that much CPU time.
    (Yes, I know that the MM kernel isn't stable. I'm just pointing out what I'm guessing is a bug.)

    i was wrong: it does not solve this issue, but it makes it appear less frequent (no idea why)
    i'm uploading a -2 release of the kernel26mm package that has magic keys enabled.
    if you see kswapd0 running without idling,press [ALT]-[SysRq]-[p] (SysRq is same as PrtScrn (print screen button) - maybe you will need to go to VC first, if you WM catches such combinations) and then do dmesg and see the last part that was added. if it is different to the one i get here:

  • Dock frozen, taking 100% CPU, 50gb swap

    My dock is frozen and shows 100% cpu use (that is, 100% of one core).  It gradually takes more and more memory until I run out of hard disk space.  Killing the process does nothing - it immediately comes back at 100% of cpu and starts eating the memory over again.  Same with deleting com.apple.dock.plist.
    This problem was occuring in 10.8.3, so i tried updating to 10.8.4, which had no effect.
    Any ideas?

    I had this problem, eventually found a solution - it's to do with Parallels (and maybe VMWare Fusion) sharing Windows applications to the Mac Dock. It turned out that I had quit Parallels, but somehow it had left something about these shared Dock items in limbo.  Restarting Parallels got things right again, then disabling the Shared Windows Apps in the configuration of the VMs
    See http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20074173-263/dock-using-100-cpu-after-os-x- 10.6.8-update-for-parallels-6-users/

  • Why does iTunes use 100% CPU all the time, hogging my Macbook Air?

    Decided to post this here instead of the iTunes forum, since it might be related to hardware too.
    New owner of a 2011 13" Macbook Air, core i5 based.
    My problem started about 1 week ago, after it had run out of power completely one day. At the first boot after that it was incredibly sluggish, totally unusable. After waiting for 5 minutes and still being unresponsive, I turned it off and then back on. Then it booted fine. HOWEVER, ever since that time I noticed the following behavior:
    - iTunes stays at 100% + CPU all the time, mostly between 100-120%. Even if it's not playing. Even when I deleted the entire library and left it empty.
    - iStats reports CPU idle between 50-65%. However, CPU temperature is still about 55 degrees C (which, I think, is far less than what it should have been with 50% idle cpu). I can confirm the low temperature by touching the chasis.
    - the cursor freezes and jumps every few seconds, making the mac kind of unusable with iTunes open.
    This has been going on for 2 weeks now. The problem goes away every now and then (iTunes sometimes goes back to regular CPU usage of 3-5%), but most of the time it's there.
    Help!
    P.S.
    Mac OX X 10.7.2
    iTunes 10.5.2

  • Discoveryd process uses 100% CPU - Safari Can't find the server

    Hello
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, I lose connection to the internet 2 or 3 times a day. (Outlook goes offline at the same time)
    This is with a wired connection. (Wi-Fi is turned off)
    Safari gives me the "Safari Can't Find the Server" message.
    Restarting the computer solves the issue temporarily.
    While I'm unable to connect to the internet, Activity Monitor shows a process named "discoveryd" that uses 100% CPU.
    Force quitting this process gives me back access to the internet instantly. Unfortunately, I suffered a kernel panic (auto restart) a few minutes after force quitting discoveryd. I'm not 100% sure those 2 are related but it would be an odd coincidence as I never experienced had a single kernel on that system. Haven't tried force quitting that process since.
    I'm using this iMac in a work environment. (Connected to a windows file server and exchange)
    This issue has been happening 2-3 times a day since the day I upgraded to Yosemite.
    Any pointers on what could fix this issue ?
    Thanks

  • Finder and loginwindow use 100% cpu with 10.6.8

    I recently installed the patch to OS X 10.6.8 and now the finder is very unstable and uses 100% cpu and the loginwindow uses 100% cpu also.  Yes I have Parallels 6 on this machine but I already "un-checked" the "show windows applications in doc" option which is the recommended solution.  However, this did not fix the problem.  I do not know how to determine what actual process is causing this finder / loginwindow issue.  I very much appreciate if anyone has suggestion how to fix this problem. 
    This is on a mid-2011 MacBookPro.
    thank you.

    TBauer, I had the same problem with 10.6.8 using 100% of the CPU with Parallels 6 installed.  The following steps solved this problem for me:
    0.  Take a screen shot of your Dock if you wish to remember it as currently set
    1. Launch Activity Monitor and click on the CPU column so you can see Dock using the CPU
    2.  Move   ///Users/ ...  /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the trash
    3.  Click on Dock and click on Quit Process to stop the Dock
    OS X will then rebuild the default Dock
    4.  Put the items back in the Dock that you want
    That solved the problem for me yesterday morning.  I've launched Parallels 6 several times now and moved the machine from my work network to home and the 100% CPU problem hasn't returned.
    Hope that works for you, too!
    I don't think using the combo updater will solve the problem.  The problem appears to be a .plist that is generated with OS X 10.6.7 and earlier that contains icons of a larger than Apple documented size causes the CPU looping.  Rebuilding the dock.plist under OS X 10.6.8 appears to solve the problem.
    Parallels has issued a knowledge bulletin saying they are looking into the problem.  On their web site they have another approach involving moving the offending icon out of the dock to solve the problem.  I like my solution better but theirs works, too.

  • ITunes will uses 100% cpu and will not close in OSX Lion

    When I start up iTunes, after a few minutes, the fan kicks on and Activity Monitor shows that it is using 100% CPU. The fan kicks up and the MBP gets warm. I have to force close to get it to shut down. iTunes match is constantly running, so maybe that has something to do with it?
    I'm not running it in Mini Player mode or anything like that, so I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Any thoughts on how to diagnose it?

    I also have this problem which has been getting worse with recent successive updates of Firefox. As a long-time user and advocate, I am about ready to look for an alternative browser. Firefox will not close and exit properly, requiring direct cancellation through Task Manager; starts up very slowly (often 1 to 2 minutes); and frequently locks up the CPU with 100% of cycles while doing NOTHING; offers to restart crashed sessions, but cannot recover and reload those sessions; will not operate correctly while any other application accesses the internet, like uTorrent. Firefox is set to delete cookies, etc. whenever the session closes, sqlite database is vacuumed regularly, CCleaner regularly wipes remaining accretions, and disk is defragged. Currently running 3.5.5 but will NOT upgrade until this problem is solved since later builds report the same problems. I know several other users who have experienced the same problem and I can no longer automatically recommend Firefox to users and clients. Is anybody paying any attention to this problem? What is being done to address this fault? Why is there no response to the original poster? Is this really a support forum or just a way to preoccupy and distract the users who suffer this malfunction? Wireless 54Mbps connection. No Adobe Flash, QuickTime, MS Silverlight, etc. installed on this machine. Firefox 3.5.5 with the following add-ons:
    Aardvark 3.0
    Adblock Plus 1.2.1
    Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper 1.0.6
    Free Download Manager plugin 1.3.4
    Highlighter 0.1.4
    MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.4
    repagination 2006.4.5.1
    Save Complete 1.0.1
    Session Manager 0.6.8.3
    Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.4
    Unhide Passwords 1.2.5.1
    User Agent Switcher 0.7.2
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.
