(SOLVED) MX-18 fresh installation - CPU 100% ????
(SOLVED) MX-18 fresh installation - CPU 100% ????
Something bad is happening here....
CPU "dances" very easily up to 100 % !!!!
Is this a simple and harmless Intel microcode issue ? I hope so....but , if is not so harmless , please give me any help.
Best regards !
My PC : MotherBoard Gigabyte GA-X38-DS5, CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (3GHz), RAM 8GB , Graphics Nvidia Geforce 710
OS MX 18 (fresh install)

Can you give us the result of "Quick System Info" from the menu here, inside code tags? </>

Re: MX-18 fresh installation - CPU 100% ????
I suggest you run htop in terminal and see what processes/programs are using up the cpu.

@ bffarmer
I have already done it.
Generally , the CPU load rises very sharply. I don't remember this behavior in MX 17.

Re: MX-18 fresh installation - CPU 100% ????
I've heard of a lot of folks with Core 2 Duo processors having some odd issues. Dropping back to the debian 4.9 kernel worked for them.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Yes, it looks like the CPU speed scaling isn't working (see last line):dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 4:26 pm I've heard of a lot of folks with Core 2 Duo processors having some odd issues. Dropping back to the debian 4.9 kernel worked for them.

Re: MX-18 fresh installation - CPU 100% ????
Thank you for your replies !
I decided to change the kernel and I have already installed the DEBIAN one.
The MX package installer informed me , that the kernel installed successfully.
I did not try to remove the 4.19 yet (i think I have to remove this linux image with synaptic later) because I don't know how to boot using the installed Debian kernel (linux image?).
Trying to boot with this older kernel I saw 2 options at the (advanced) MX bootloader screen , one with systemd and an other one without !!!
Both of them can't boot.
Any help please ?

Re: MX-18 fresh installation - CPU 100% ????
What error message are you seeing ?
Both should be able to boot, MX defaults to the non-systemd (aka sysV) entry.
Once booted under the debian kernel you can uninstall 4.19 and the grub config file will be re-generated so that the 4.8 default entry appears at the top (provided you have no other, more recent kernel installed)
