I am a first time user of any Linux distribution. I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 a couple of days back on my Dell Inspiron N5010. Since the first boot, I am facing heating issues on my laptop. Some google search helped me identify the culprit.
There is a process "systemd-udevd" which has two running instances on my system with %CPU utilization of 98.x and 3x.x.
I referred to this link at askubuntu which discusses the same issue I am facing. There are 2 interim solutions I understood from there. It is somehow related to Bluetooth.
- Disable Bluetooth from the BIOS. How to do that in Ubuntu 18.04?
- Run the below commands.
sudo systemctl stop systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-udevd-control.socket
sudo systemctl start systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-udevd-control.socket
These set of commands do kill the target processes and that cools down my system, but it's too cumbersome because I had to repeat these commands every time after starting my PC.
Please help/guide me to rectify this.
