Cpu usage 50% because of network activity

Question

Why is the cpu(celeron g1840) usage 50% and more (not reported as a system process) because of network activity to keeton.canonical.com, ftp.bit.nl and others?(os is loki) I tracked it down up to: 32411 _apt /usr/lib/apt/methods/http enp2s0 0.572 20.516 KB/sec 31916 _apt /usr/lib/apt/methods/http enp2s0 0.547 20.490 KB/sec

It´s probably some update stuff, but the problem is it never seems to stop and using way too much cpu power, temp goes up as well. I would have to change os if the bug can not be fixed, a dissapointment.

Answer 1

I think its still a bug that needs to be picked up by the developers of elementary os. A process thats causing lots of cpu load and heat to the system is a serious bug. The solution for my system seems to be:

1. Kill AppCenter

killall appcenter

2.Show all the hidden startup applications

sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

3.launch Gnome Session Properties application

gnome-session-properties

4.Find AppCenter and uncheck it

Now it should update only when you'll click updates in AppCenter or via terminal with sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade Commands
