Hi all,
Fresh installation of MX 19.2 (Debian 10) and TDE 14.0.9. There's a
process called "kworker/0:3-events" that continually uses 30% CPU. Maybe 3
times a minute it changes to "kworker/0:3+events_freezable" for several
seconds. It isn't there in XFCE; but if you start TDE, then logout and
login to XFCE, it is there and continues. Any ideas what this is and how I
can make it stop?
Hi Dan,
I'm running the same setup (MX 19.2/TDE 14.0.9) and while I have 38
kworker/event_xyz processes runing, all but one are at 0.0 %CPU. That one is
at 0.3 %CPU. A different one has 12s TIME.
My uptime is 6 days with ~420 total processes and I have only been in TDE.
So, yeah, 30% CPU seems really odd. Assuming you're not on a Pentium II or
something ;)
One of the dev's will have to answer further (as I don't myself know what
kworkers truly do other than ‘system stuff’).
Hope the data point helps,
Michael
