elfsThis morning, my laptop had to undergo a therapeutic reboot.
On the bus, I noticed this morning that my laptop battery read 94%: 1:03, which to me was just wrong; at 94% battery I should have over two hours of performance left. Something was running away.
I pulled up the process monitor top and looked. The kernel USB hub server was the runaway, eating upto 95% of the CPU and basically eating the battery alive. This was apparently associated with my disconnecting the iPod and then suspending the laptop before the hub had a chance to register the disconnect.
A quick reboot and everything was well but, man, that's annoying. Reboot a Linux box? What is this, an abusive relationship?
