[campcaster-support] CPU always at 100% - CC 1.4 on Xubuntu 8.04.1 (hardy)
  • I installed Campcaster 1.4 (beta 2) under Xubuntu 8.04.1 (Hardy Heron)
    on a AthlonXP 1500 + (1.3 GB) using the repository: deb
    http://code.campware.org/ubuntu hardy main

    I preferred Xubuntu which is lighter and faster than Ubuntu.

    Campcaster seems to work normally at first sight but System monitor says
    my CPU is working 100% all the time Campcaster either mounted or not,
    and I see that the machine operates slowly.

    Is it the fault of the use of Xubuntu in place of Ubuntu?

  • I'm getting this on a (no-gui) hardy server too - so it's not Xfce.

    I noticed that on the scheduler status page it says the startup script is not correct, and i've tried every possible path in preferences. /etc/init.d/campcaster-scheduler, /opt/campcaster/bin, et al. In CC 1.3 i set this path and scheduler-status was happy.

    Just checked, and in cc 1.3 CPU usage is ~0 even with scheduler startup script undefined

  • I've been looking into the high CPU Usage and it may be Ubuntu Hardy and not Campcaster. Specifically, people have had problems with alsa 1.0.15

    Downgrading alsa didn't work for me, was wondering if there are Campcaster 1.3 packages for Hardy. If so then I could determine whether this is a CC problem or an Ubuntu - Hardy - Alsa problem.


    thanks
