Re: EDIT: Nevermind false alarm


Should we mark this as "Solved", or would that actually mean that there are problems? :grin:


Do not mark as SOLVED, that would be an untrue statement since there was no problem, although it could be said that my state of ignorance that lead me to believe that there was a problem when there was ...

Re: One CPU core maxed out by a process


There is nothing wrong with this output.

ok, I'm reading manpage now, lots to learn ...

You could install another kernel (also you are running AVL-MXE so this should be probably in the MX Respins subforum https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewforum.php?f=127 or AV Linux forums if they have any since they might know more about that particular kernel)

You can install another kernel from MX ...

Does it happen with other kernels (non-rt one?)
Wouldn’t know. I guess that means that I can switch kernels? I’m a total noob, obviously. I’ll see what I can learn online.

Re: One CPU core maxed out by a process


Does it persist after a reboot?

Can you run Quick System Info from the menu and just paste it into your next post in this thread?

Sometimes it's easier to just try a newer kernel and see if they fixed it in that...


HI, sorry for the delay!

The problem does persist after reboot, it's constant ...

One CPU core maxed out by a process

HI, as the title says. I'm a total newbie, btw.

Running the 'top' command I get:
