Here are ten things that you (probably) didn’t know you could do in Ubuntu. All are taken from Ubuntu Kung Fu, my new book. Read more

After a routine update yesterday,I felt my laptop became to be very heat,then I checked the CPU usage and saw  the CPU usage was up to 100%. I ever got same problem before but if I rebooted the computer all will turn to be ok ,however this method didn’t work this time.Then I checked the processes and found the Tracker ’s process ate over 50% CPU usage,this is the reason.I had to shut off the tracker from Sessions,after that,the CPU works fine again.

I’ve been meaning to log some, I think I’ll call it… Linux type stuff, to do with the TinyTuxbox for a while. Here’s my attempt to look at what Ubuntu makes of this little box.

First, the CPU (from /proc/cpuinfo):

processor : 0
vendor_id : CentaurHauls
cpu family : 6
model : 13
model name : VIA Eden Processor 500MHz
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 498.706
cache size : 128 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge cmov pat clflush acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm nx up pni est tm2 xtpr rng rng_en ace ace_en ace2 ace2_en phe phe_en pmm pmm_en
bogomips : 998.77
clflush size : 64

The interestingness here comes from the fact we have a 500MHz Via Eden with 128k cache and just under 1000 bogomips which (although it shouldn’t be) is often used as a trivial performance metric of a processor. Next, lets have a look at what’s on the PCI bus (courtesy of lspci):
