Hi all,
In opensuse 10.2, on a dual core 64 bit CPU, I've noticed that the zmd updater thingy has a sub-process "update-status" which seems to run flat out from time to time. Typically it will do this immediately after startup, but it' does it at other times too. The symptoms are that one core of the CPU starts to run at 100%, and since this is a laptop, inevitably the fan starts to run flat out and the battery drain goes up a lot. This process seems to run for a long time (more than 15 minutes).
This seems wrong to me. I don't know what it's doing exactly, but I assume it's checking my software versions against some central repository, so one would assume it should be IO bound looking at the disk or the network for most of its life.
Obviously, I "should update to 10.3", but this is a working machine (in the sense that I make my living using it), so such an exercise isn't trivial and despite several other "compelling" reasons to do so, I'd really prefer to avoid doing that at least for a while longer.
If you uninstall ZMD (and its dependencies, you can use yast) you will
get opensuse-updater tray applet instead. See
http://opensuse-community.org/Repositories/10.2#Disable_ZMD or just
remove it in yast -> software management.
