One, I'd blame your laptop manufacturer, as any hardware which can't cope with being run at full capacity for a reasonable period is badly designed hardware. But that's not going to get you very far. =) (to mitigate, you can get one of those cooling pads for laptops - they look dumb, but they actually work. I had a similar laptop once that would overheat-protect-shutdown when building kernels; a cooling pad solved that problem. Or you can just try and clean out the externally-accessible heatsinks a bit, that can help.) Tracker shouldn't eat 100% cpu time for really extended periods, so if it's doing this for more than, say, an hour, that may well be a bug in tracker. You might also want to check if lldpad is installed, and if so, remove it or upgrade it to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701943 , which could be contributing to the problem (the update is linked in the bug). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
