Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) on Toshiba Satellite L40 14B
ACPI problem CPU loading problem and workaround
As you have noticed in my previous posts I'm playing a bit with
Toshiba Satellite L40 14B updates this days. I've came across an
ugly problem with ACPI on Ubuntu Jaunty. It's really a big issue
because acpi stalls and keeps loading the system on 100% leaving it
with 0% idle all the time. The solution I've found is suggested on
the following
Ubuntu
bug launchpad . As it describes the solution comes to
this:
1. rm -f /etc/acpi/events/asus-wireless-on
2. rm -f /etc/acpi/events/asus-wireless-2
the next two steps are added by me
to prevent some problems caused by acpid
upgrades.
3. touch /etc/acpi/events/asus-wireless-2
4. touch /etc/acpi/events/asus-wireless-on
