Nautilus

amy

Hello all,

I woke up this morning and found that my cpu was being used up quite a bit, and found the culprit to be Nautilus. Thinking it wasn't much, I restarted X and logged back in finding no background, no icons, no right-clicking on the desktop, or using the Nautilus file manager. My cpu is still being heavily used after the restart of X, even though I can't see it doing much of anything. I'm not sure how this happened, but how can I fix it whatever it is?

Thanks

You can try a 'killall nautilus amp;amp; nautilus amp;'
If not, does a reboot help?

If you have a CPU with stepping enabled it may have cut back the CPU to save power while it was idle.

Hi TannerLD -

How did you discover that the culprit was nautilus? I ask because I want to check that you actually found the right culprit!

Hello,

I did a restart and all seems well.

And I found it was Nautilus by looking at the System Monitor.

Thanks
