Tomboy has %100 CPU usage :S

I started using Tomboy but have a big problem with it.. When I log in to my session of GNOME, Tomboy starts and starts also using %100 CPU.. It also starts not minimized to the tray... I think that the applet that comes out of the box with GNOME is far better than Tomboy.. (at least for now)

disable it auto starting then run in a terminal to see if it spits out any errors

  • My laptop (win7 2ghz, 1gig) has 100% cpu usage with itunes installed (even when not running itunes) since the upgrade.  i had to uninstall.  tried installing but still the same problem.  my daughter wants the new ipad, but this is a serious problem.

    when itunes upgraded my laptop went to 100% cpu usage.  only solution was uninstall.  have tried itunes again as my daughter wants the new ipad.  still same problem tho so not keen to spend £400 on new pad without pc support.  anyone help?  (ps been using ipod touches 1 and 2, been great source of pleasure for my two girls, but cant sync them, so using the little shuffles for music, syncing to an old version of itunes on an old netbook - had the sense to switch off upgrades when the new version went wrong)

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Kworker has 100% cpu usage. Why?

    I thought that setting
    options usbcore autosuspend=0
    in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf fixed the problem for me of kworker using 100% CPU. I found the solution here. Using the setting prevented kworker from kworking right after boot, but it till starts kworking a some point into my sessions. EDIT: Nope, I guess it's random because it's happening at boot again.
    Why might this be?

  • Shockwave Flash 11.6.602.168 100% CPU usage

    Hi,
    Our computer has 100% CPU usage every time we get in websites that utilize Flash, or watch youtube.
    Browser: FF 19.0
    Flash 11.6.602.168
    Computer: HP Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz, 3G memory, up-to-date BIOS and other drivers.
    Graphic card: EVGA GeFprce 6200
    Windows 7 32 bits
    This window is freshly installed, has AVG on. We do not have many software's installed, except MS Office. All fans and CPU are clean. The computer runs fairly fast: we tried opening multiple FF tabs simultaneously, plus Excel, Word, Solitaire etc. without any problems. However, whenever we get into websites with Flash, the CPU uasage goes to 100% and stays there. Memory usage has always been stable, around 30%. We have tried the following steps, but it hasn't gotten better:
    - Turned off all applications, opened only one tab with that website.
    - Updated all drivers and applications: FF, Flash, Graphic card etc.
    - Turned ON and OFF hardware acceleration for both Flash and FF, also tried to turn one On, the other OFF, and vise versa.
    - Disabled all add-on's, extensions and Plug-in's, except Flash.
    - Uninstalled and reinstall FF and Flash; restarted several times.
    - Temporarily turned OFF protected mode.
    - Uninstalled FF, Flash, then installed IE 9, then Flash for IE: didn't work.
    - Uninstalled IE 9, Flash, then installed IE10 then reinstalled Flash for IE: also didn't work.
    - We do not keep browsing history.
    Examples of websites that we have had problems with: pbskids.org, barbie.com, and other school websites for kids to do homework or watch youtube.
    While in many websites such as CNN.com, yahoo.com, when we opened it, the CPU usage did spike, but came back to 1-5% within 5 seconds.
    This computer is for our kids. Do we really need to buy an i5 or i7 computer so the kids can play and do homework? Or is there any other way that we can do?
    Thank you

    Moving to the Using Flash Player forum, as this isn't specific to the Beta.
    In the Youtube video, if you right-click and choose Show Video Info, it will show you whether you're using Hardware Acceleration for both Video Rendering and Video Decoding.
    If you're seeing Software Rendering and/or Software Decoding and you're watching a high-def video, it's going to use a ton of CPU.
    Do you see similar behavior in other browsers?  (Chrome, IE)  The Flash Player distributions are actually quite different for each browser.  It would be an interesting data point.

  • Recently FireFox often has been causing 100% CPU usage and locks up until it finishes the process (various ones). Clearing cookies/cache didn't help. Any ideas?

    Windows 2000 SP4, 1g RAM, Firefox 9.0.1
    We keep IE6 and Firefox open simultaneously for 2 different mail accounts. Firefox was always much faster even with 3 or 4 tabs open, but for the past couple of weeks when trying to update a screen the CPU suddenly goes to 100% usage and of course nothing will move until the particular process is finished. Closing one or more tabs does not help. If I close Firefox completely with Task Manager CPU usage goes back down to nil. After restarting Firefox CPU usage may or may not go back up depending upon whether it tries to continue the previous task that was locking it up.
    It did not do this with Firefox 3.6 but then again it didn't happen immediately after updating to 9.0.1 either.

    100% CPU usage occurred most often toward the end of the working day when busy trying to print on-line postage. We don't have any memory-consuming plugins but according to the knowledge base articles Firefox memory usage can gradually increase during the day even if you do nothing. It seems that may be the problem so we close and restart Firefox more often now as that usually fixes the problem. However, if we get stuck on a particular website update that causes the CPU to to go 100%, we can always start Firefox without previous tabs so the update will stop, or simply use a different browser until we have time to let the computer play games with itself.
    So our workaround of restarting Firefox turns out to be the final solution (until we find something better - will post it if we do). Vic

  • HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn - DNS issue, hundreds of UDP connections affects my router 100% CPU usage

    Hi all,
    We've bought about ten pieces (HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn), tested only one the other 9 are waiting for their time to be sent in our branch offices. The MFP works fine, no complains till later that day I noticed that our Mikrotik Router was struguling with high CPU usage, it took me some time to find the issue and it was the new bought MFP. Don't know why but it creates hundreds of UDP connections and almost 100% CPU usage goes to DNS service. As soon as I shutdown the MFP and delete all the connections everything goes back to normal. I've disabled almost all services (HP web service, Ipv6, SNMP, AirPrint, SLP, LPD, WS-Discovery, Bonjour), leaving only Ipv4 but without luck the issue persists. Here are some print screens confirming my saying:

  • How to control timing without 100% CPU usage

    I wanted fine control over timing (in windows XP), but ran into two problems.
    Problem 1: If you use the Swing timer, or Thread.sleep, the resolution is limited to 10 or 11 milliseconds. There is a Thread.sleep(millis, nanos) function, but I tested it and it still has 11ms resolution in WinXP.
    Problem 2: If you use jbanes's GAGE timer, CPU utilization will always be 100%.
    Solution: Use a hybrid technique. I would love to have nanosecond resolution AND low CPU utilization at any speed (and if you have any suggestions, please post them) but for now:
    class /*name*/ extends Thread{
    public void run(){
              setDelay(delaySettings[speed]); //Set "delay" to the desired delay in nanoseconds
              long nanos;
              while(true){
                   if(running){ //"running" is a boolean that can pause or unpause the game
                        nanos=System.nanoTime()+delay;
                        tick(); //Do the game logic and graphics for one frame
                        if(delay>11000000){ //If the system timer can handle it
                             try{sleep(delay/1000000);} //delay/1000000 gives millis
                             catch(Exception e){System.out.println("Caught sleep exception: "+e);}
                        }else{ //use a nanotimer (cpu-expensive)
                             while(System.nanoTime()<nanos){}
                   }else{ //it is paused, so wait a bit
                        try{sleep(50);}
                        catch(Exception e){System.out.println("Caught sleep exception: "+e);}
    //The rest of your code
    }If your desired delay is greater than the system timer resolution (here, I have it set at 11,000,000 nanoseconds, or 11ms) then you can use the Thread.sleep(milliseconds) call, which will have approximately 0% CPU utilization until the thread wakes up. Theoretically, you could use this time for another thread, but at the very minimum, your computer should use less power / generate less heat. If your desired resolution is smaller than 11,000,000 nanoseconds, it goes into a loop that checks nanoTime()... which gives you 100% CPU usage, but is very accurate. This works pretty well if you want to control the framerate dynamically (I use the "-"/"=" buttons to adjust speed) and it handles "pause" events, though I'm sure there are better ways to do that.
    Note: The timing granularity above 11ms for this technique is probably 11ms, though the code could be modified to provide nanosecond granularity at any speed.
    Note 2: I found this to run 3% faster than when I used the GAGE timer.

    Pause the game when u alt-tab away ^_^
    Thats what most native fullscreen games do (the
    non-networked kind atleast)Good idea, but the crux of the issue is really the underlying scheduler which allows
    the thread to race.
    How to "Eliminate" 100% CPU usage.
    Tony's Law of the exec constant. <<<<"Any thread or process running on a non-preemptive operating system MUST NOT use blocking
    IO, and MUST preempt itself at leat 20MS per iteration."
    The reason it is called a constant is because it is the minimum time needed to ensure
    the underlying operating system gets enough CPU cycles to function correctly.
    Every milliseconds below this increases exponentially the chance of locking up or
    crashing despite the speed of your system.
    Most people who program do not realize the the implications of running under defective schedulers
    such as the one provided with MS windows where, for example, you can block on a socket, and
    hang your whole system.
    >>> Do NOT use Thread.sleep() <<< but instead use Object.wait();
    Do not use blockng IO. If you have to use java.io, use available() to make such you ONLY
    read the exact amount of bytes you need without blocking and make sure to prempt
    yourself at least 20MS per iteration.
    ie:
    InputStream inputStream;
    while(working)
    Object waitObject = new Object();
    int readCount = 0;
    int availableBytes = 0;
    int  totalBytes = 10;
       while(readCount < totalBytes)
          if((availableBytes = inputStream.available())!=0)
              read() (the # of Bytes available)
          else
              synchronized(waitObject)
                   waitObject.wait(200);        // 5X per second poll
                    waitObject.notifyAll();
    Using wait() removes the current thread from being scheduled; Thread.sleep()
    leaves the Thread on the schedule list. wait() releases all monitors allow other
    threads to have them; THread.sleep() does not.
    The 100% CPU issue is especially bad under NT BTW.
    If you do this not only will your CPU usage go to negligible, but you
    will never again lock your system because of it.
    Good Luck!

  • Server 2012R2 Windows backup 100% CPU usage and no backup

    Hello!
    I have a problem with two VM´s on a HP Proliant ML350p Gen8, that has Windows Server 2012R2 operating system with Hyper-V role installed.
    Both VM´s are also 2012R2, one is DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT and the other one is Exchange 2013.
    The problem itself is that, when Windows backup (wbengine.exe - Block level backup engine service) inside VM starts, it uses almost maximum CPU resource, so the VM´s CPUs are 100% used. Backup itself is not working, there is no network trafic. Only
    way to get rid of 100% CPU usage is to restart the server.
    When i start backup manually (Backup once - scheduled backup options), it is working and the CPU usage is around 20-30%.
    One VM (DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT) has 2x vCPU and Exchange has 4x vCPU.
    The problem started suddenly, the backup were performing slowly and failed.
    Backups are scheduled on different time. Host level Hyper-V backup of VM´s works without any problem.
    The backup location is Synology DS414 NAS and the servers are set up using iSCSI, for connecting separate backup lun´s for each server.
    The Hyper-V host and both VM´s are patched up-to-date. Ofcourse i have tried a lot of restarts, looking event log, VSSADMIN - cannot find any errors...
    The network setup:
    Hyper-V host has a team of two physical adapters, that is set up with a external virtual switch (shared with management operating system) and used by the VM`s normal network trafic.
    Hyper-V host itself is using separte physcial network card, for connecting with iSCSI to Synology NAS.
    I tried to set up another physical network card on the host and create a new virtual swich, add extra virtual nic to VM`s and use this for iSCSI traffic for Windows backup and it didnt make things better.
    I need to find a solution, because i cannot restart the server every night for the backups to work.

  • MobileClient.exe holds 100% CPU usage in Citrix

    Hi
    We have successfully got Mobile Sales 5.0 SP11 working on Citrix but unfortunately, as soon as we have more than 10 people working on it, the application hangs with 100% CPU usage
    This server has 4 CPU's and should not max out with so few users.
    The infrastructure is set out with the application and the database sitting on different virtual servers with a gigabit connection between them.
    The locking point always seems to be on the application server.
    Any ideas?

  • K7N420 100% cpu usage

    Apologies in advance for a long post but I'm stretched beyond my technical abilities to solve this thing. I was running a virus scan a week ago (no issues, it had just been a long time since I ran one) and while I was away the machine restarted itself when it shouldn't have. It was waiting at the redhat login (dual boot XP and redhat) when it should have been waiting to tell me the scan was done in XP. It never booted properly again. The HD reported fatal unrecoverable errors. I bit the bullet and replaced the drive with a Maxtor 80G 7200rpm drive and loaded XP Pro with no issues. Loaded Norton, updated it twice and proceeded for Windows updates. No issues, device manager has no conflicts. HOWEVER, the machine is running no apps (they aren't even installed!) and taskmanager reports 100% cpu usage and no processes running except system idle which jumps from 97 to 99% repeatedly. Somehow I managed to revive the original drive (wrote zeroes to it and ran scandisk several times and it reports no errors now) and tried it with the same problem. I've gone so far as to install 98se (yuck) on the original WD drive and it is using about 28% cpu, again with virtually nothing installed. I ran stinger off a floppy as well as Norton several times so the drives and MBR would appear to be clean. The RAM is appearing properly on both OS's and always no applications running and no processes showing as using anything. I'm stumped.
    Any advice is welcome.

    GlennVidia, first thanks for helping this dumbass out. I ran the memtest overnight with no issues. I just reinstalled XP on the new Maxtor drive. I am using the 2.03 drivers. I just installed PCAlert and it shows the following voltages: Vcore: 1.74, 3.3 is at 3.34, 5 is at 5.03 and 12 is at 12.18 with a cpu temp of 118F. I have installed no other apps including anti-virus. The cpu usage is bouncing between 44% and 65% cycling every second...you can set a clock to it. (Hopefully that triggers someone's memory?) No processes showing as using resources in task manager besides system idle and an occasional hit for task manager itself. Device manager has no issues. I changed the ide cable and reseated all cables to and from the mobo.
    You mention usb...I'm not using any usb devices but will gladly kill it in DM if that is what you are suggesting for a test run.

  • 100% CPU Usage caused by HMI

    Hi everybody:
    I'm working with LabVIEW DSC 8.2.1 in a system that monitors many variables of a plant, such a typical SCADA system. For this reason, the use of the graphic tools is highly used on the development of this system. Everything works fine, but I have only one problem.... the usage of the CPU.
    When I am working on the development system I (not the executable) I start the application and after the variables are initialized and every process has started and are running , the CPU usage is raised around 90 - 100%. After a few days investigating the reason of this, I realized thay when I change the view on the screen to another view, for example the block diagram of the application, while the application is still running, the CPU usage goes around 15 - 25%. I've tried these many times changing the view from Front panel to Block Diagram and viceversa and the result is always the same: Front Panel= around 100%; Block diagram or another view (other applications MMIs, or Block Diagrams, etc.)= around 20%.
    Another thing that I realized is that the other view (different to front panel) has to fill the entire screen to work the way I'm telling before.
    When I build and run the executable, the usage of the CPU is the same... (around 100%), but I can't see any other application, because the application built is the shell of the OS, so no other views are available.
    I don't know if there's some other consideration to take into account about the HMI when creating an application, and I'll appreciate very much your help.
    Thanks in advance!

    100 Percent CPU Usage when you run programs after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2
    CPU Usage 100% Symptoms
    When you run some programs, the CPU Usage meter in Task Manager may indicate CPU Usage 100%. When CPU utilization reaches 100 percent, programs will run very slowly or stop responding (hang) and your computer is freezing or crashing.
    Noteress CTRL+ALT+DEL to view CPU utilization, click Task Manager, and then click the Performance tab.
    These symptoms occur after you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).
    CPU Usage 100% Cause
    These problem occurs because of the user interface code that is included in Windows XP SP2. The high CPU utilization is caused by the additional overhead that occurs when the IsWindow function is called by the user interface code.

  • 100% CPU usage... does anyone else get this?

    Here is my code. I would have simplidied it for you... but I honestly have no idea where it went wrong.
    One second it is running fine, the next it starts taking up 100% of my CPU cycles. I can't figure out what I did to it to make it do this... nothing I added creates an infinite loop or infinite threads. It's just... weird.
    The code is probably too big for anyone to look at and tell me what's wrong, but can someone else download it and tell me if you also get 100% CPU usage? It needs to be run on Windows... it uses a couple JNI calls that are Windows-specific. Those calls were the first place I looked when trying to find the problem, but I have not changed that part of the code for a long time, and it has never been a problem before.
    Don't run the bat file... just navigate to the Watchdog2 directory and do 'java Watchdog'.
    Are there any tools that can help me figure out where the program is getting hung up? It's not freezing at any specific spot... just moving super slow and taking up 100% of my CPU. I'm so confused...

    Nevermind!
    Sorry for the trouble. The problem was that last time I compiled the code, it reverted back to and older version of a class I had compiled days ago. Why it did this is totally beyond me... but it did, and it just so happens that the old version of that class combined with the new version of my program were the perfect recipe for an infinite loop.
    Seriously, if you are in inveterate debugger, you might get a good laugh out of this. I've spent the last week and a half trying to find a way to set the Windows console into cbreak mode (single character processing rather than line-at-a-time processing), and I finally managed to do it by writing some c code and putting it into a DLL with the JNI. So now my program (which runs from the console) can process each character as it is entered rather than waiting for a line return. The older version of the class that got reverted was one that used System.in rather than the input stream generated by the socket. I had set it to System.in for testing purposes, and apparently that testing version is the one it got reverted back to. So combine the two, and you have a console that is feeding System.in each character as it is pressed and a socket wrapper that is listening infinitely. It was a mess... but an uncannily serindipitous mess...
    Ahh... debugging... good time...

  • Crystalras.exe consuming 100% CPU usage

    Hi everyone,
    When we try to open an instance of one of our Crystal reports from InfoView, the crystalras.exe process runs at 100% CPU usage and the report never shows up. After a few minutes, we get the following message:
    The request timed out because there has been no reply from the server for 600,000 milliseconds.
    Does anyone know where the problem could come from? Could this be because the report is retrieving too much data?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Dear Both,
    I traced the RAS server as suggested by Tim and obtained a log that - I have to admit - is quite difficult for me to understand. Could I send it to one of you for examination? Thanks in advance.
    Ted, please find below my answers to your questions:
    Just to close out possible data source issues, are the reports going against Business Views or Universes?
    The report is based on Business Views.
    Do you have Processing Extensions specified for the reports?
    Sorry but what are Processing Extensions?
    Also, when you checked in the Crystal Reports Designer, was it Designer installed on the same machine where the page server and RAS server is running?
    Yes, it is installed on the same machine.
    Also, since it affects both Page Server and RAS, it may require CRPE traces to get to the bottom of this (CRPE - 'creepy' - is the CR engine used by both the Page and RAS server).
    I will certainly open a case with SAP to have them help me on that.
    Thank you both for your help. It is very appreciated.

  • ITunes 10.6 has High CPU Usage when switched to Mini Player

    iTunes has high CPU usage when switched to mini player. The CPU usage goes to 80-100% when the next song is played in Mini Player. iTunes then stays at high CPU usage.
    Upon exiting mini player the CPU usage will drop back to the normal 0-5% levels.
    This only happens when playing from the main music library; which my library is at 7089 items, 42.04 GB.
    When playing from a smaller playlist such as a smart playlist with about 15 songs in it for example, the CPU usage stays low/normal.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.
