Suddenly the lion became crawling tonight and the mbp cpu fan was 'shouting', i struggled to open the activity monitor and found out that the distnoted process was taking all the cpu time.
After I killed the distnoted, the system calmed down and then the distnoed appeared again but it was then harmonic.
It has happened twicely.
What is the matter?
Thanks.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Nice to know what you wouldn't do. What would you, on the other hand, actually do? The distnoted process loses roughly 1 MB of RAM per minute. After 24 hours the machine grinds to a halt. Would you reboot the machine every 60 minutes?
Sounds like a problem with the distnoted process.
I don't know how to avoid this, I had thought the macbook pro does not have a cpu fan before this.😁
I just turned it off and after having had the fan on FULL for 3 hours it just calmed down in 3 minuts and the the battery life is now over 6 hours instead of less than 2 hours.
THANK YOU
Second thoughts.. DON'T this appears to be a part of the kernel messaging system.. disabling it will lock you system and prevent it from booting cleanly, or at all !!!!
I have the exact same issue.
Disnoted and fontd are killing my fans.
The distnoted process took all the cpu time, the system kept crawling until i killed the distnoted process.
