compiz or cgmanager is eating up CPU

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite On my Ubuntu 14.04, I have installed compiz . It was working perfectly until this morning. top says compiz and cgmanager are eating up cpu more than 150%. From this SO post I checked, if anything was updated, I noticed cgmanager was installed last. This answer helped lower cpu usage by compiz but still after 5 minutes or so it goes high again. My virtual consoles (ttyn) work fine, something is wrong with my GUI only and I don't seem to find the right steps to fix this.

Ubuntu 16.04 with no swap freezes when running out of memory

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite 1 I have an up-to-date 16.04 64bit system with 24GB of memory, configured without swap. Sometimes due to the nature of my work (multiple VirtualBox VMs running, Eclipse running, Firefox and Chrome running etc) my system runs out of memory and instead of killing the processes with the larger memory footprint it just freezes and becomes unusable and then I have to hard reboot. Why is this the case? 16.04 swap memory-usage share | improve this question asked Mar 13 at 10:05 Tryfon Farmakakis 11 1 I think that, even if you have 24GB or RAM, you need at least 5 GB of RAM (in my opinion the best would be 24GB).

If I build a package from source how can I uninstall or remove completely?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 120 down vote favorite 63 I used source code to build one package such as below: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-package-name="Myplugin" --with-package-origin="http://www.ubuntu.org/" --enable-gtk-doc --disable-static make make install But unfortunately, i discovered that its the latest version, and has lot of bugs, so i need to remove it/uninstall it. But how can i do so? I tried make clean; make uninstall but still i see it exist: # pkg-config --list-all | grep Myplugin myplugin-.... $ ls /usr/lib/myplugin/libXYZ.so exist.... How do you remove this now? package-management uninstall compiling share | improve this question edited Dec 31 '11 at 17:49 Jorge Castro 34.8k 105 421 614 asked Dec 12 '11 at 11:42 YumYumYum 4,357 32 86 133 add a comment  |  up vote 120 down vote favorite 63 ...
