Ubuntu 11.10 users!! look here!!

OK my server was taking a major poop everytime I did anything other than just run pyspades.

It would get massive amounts of lag randomly, and kick about half the server.

After logging in, and having to wait almost 2 minutes for a prompt I decided to do a quick "top" command to take a peek.

The linux "init" boot process was taking 100% of all my cores, and was randomly sucking the RAM,

I ran to google and found this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/68144/in ... -cpu-usage

reboot after doing that, and you will be all fixed up 8)

TL;DR:
do this in your PuTTy:
Code: Select all
su
apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:jammy/upstart.fix-880049
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade


after the last command it will pause and ask you :


Code: Select all
Configuration file `/etc/init/failsafe.conf'
 ==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** failsafe.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?


simply type Y+enter, and wait...

When you are back on the command-line do:
Code: Select all
reboot

Your just reminding me how much I miss Ubuntu, and how much I can't have it D:

At any rate, thanks for the info! I'll do this if I get Ubuntu again (probably gonna happen sooner or later)

Sadly this does not work
Code: Select all
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jammy/upstart.fix-880049/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found


It has been moved to,
Code: Select all
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jammy/upstart.fix-880049/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

Any idea on how to fix this?
