E17 batget eating cpu

Hi,

Noticed that the batget utility from E17 is using around 80-85% cpu on my eeepc 900.  Hardly ideal to have a battery monitoring utility burning cpu and therefore draining the battery

Anyone else seen this?  Got a ideas?  At present the obvious option to to disable the utility, hardly ideal, but then neither is the current situation.

Thanks,
Jon

no, works fine here. You can try changing themes, start with a clean config, try the latest svn version via abs.

Yes same problem here. My CPU temp rose upto 70c without any tasks in the background! I asked about it they said they are looking to fix this issue. So I have made a temporary switch back to gnome. See if you can get any help here.

Re: E17 batget eating cpu

have you tried increasing the polling time or switching hardware modes (both in the advanced battery dialog)

Unfortunately it doesn't work. But when I kill the batget process (through htop) it not visible in pid list and doesn't use cpu, but batget is still working (visible and operating in the shelf )
