High CPU usage, temperature, and load average leaving a new Fedora 20 KDE install unbootable on Thinkpad T420i
Hello,
I installed Fedora 20 KDE on Thinkpad T420i and upgraded to the latest which left the system unbootable. My initial impression was that this was kernel related as kernel was upgraded from 3.11.10 to 3.13.9 and booting into 3.11.10 was working fine.
I have tried this several times to replicate the issue.
In another try I did the same installed, upgraded and system was left unbootable. This time I disabled kdm and logged into tty. System was working fine. I installed i3 and used it for a while under 3.13.9 without any problem. Then I decided to run KDE and it was working fine.
So in a nutshell install, upgrade and KDE won't boot but if you log in once in tty or another window manager and then back into KDE and it would work fine.
I filed a kernel bug report which might not be even valid anymore. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085478
I have been using Fedora 20 KDE since the release and it had always worked fine. I am not so sure about the current oddities.
Thanks.
I suppose you've tried looking into cpufreq governers? On 18 Apr 2014 13:26, "Sudhir Khanger" sudhir@sudhirkhanger.com wrote:

I have not. I tend to use defaults of things that I don't understand. I had another instance this afternoon where KDE failed to boot. It seems like a hit and miss issue.

The Fedora docs do have a very good page on how to configure them. If not, there's always the Arch wiki. It's not very difficult so I think it might help you. On 18 Apr 2014 19:51, "Sudhir Khanger" sudhir@sudhirkhanger.com wrote:

I will check that out but issue is a borked system with the default Fedora installation. On Apr 18, 2014 9:01 PM, "Dhaval Anjaria" dhv2712@gmail.com wrote:
