Ubuntu 12.04, Gnome Classic, Home built pc, AMD 2-core, 16GB RAM.
When I start Firefox and then Software Manager,
one of the CPUs goes to 100%, then settles down.
But, if I type a letter in the Software Mgr's Search box,
one of the CPUs will go back up to 100%,
and stays around 98, 99, and 100%.
The pc freezes up.
Then I can't type a 2nd letter.
I can't quit Software Manager normally.
If I'm running full screen, I have to cut power.
I have tested this several times with the same bad results.
My conky shows the above CPU figures.
But Task Manager gives no clue and shows minimal CPU useage.
I never had this issue running Ubuntu 10.04 LST.
But I had this happened with Zorin OS 6.1 and Mint 13 xfce also.
So I think this is a basic Ubuntu issue and not my hardware.
Suggestions.
