kworker/u8:5 taking up 70%+ cpu - Zxurian - 2014-05-15
so interesting problem, not sure where to look to solve.
I had a working copy of XBMCBuntu v13 installed, was running okay, then I went to switch it to login via opendesktop instead of going straight into steam.
Previously, I would do this by just exiting XBMC, then log on via XBMCBuntu.
With the lastest XBMCBuntu v13 install
First time I went to exit, it went right back into xbmc.
Second time I went to exit, it went right back into xbmc.
Third time, it actually went to the login screen. I logged in via XBMCBuntu, then restarted box, but noticed the system was laggy.

I'm not sure what kworker/u8:5 is, or why it's sucking up so much CPU.
Can anyone assist with diagnosing it?
