My i386 Lubuntu install is running with a constantly 100% CPU. Using top I have diagnosed %id as using up a lot of CPU, usually between about 50% and 99%. Why is this happening, and how can I stop it?
Top id is using 50-99% of CPU
cpu;top;i386;lubuntu
Ok, it turns out there is a problem with the resource monitor applet on my computer that means it shows full CPU all the time.The fix? Use a resource monitor for RAM usage, and a CPU usage monitor for CPU usage.
