[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#517108: base: Couldn't get CPU usage for each process

[Lee Dan]

Package: base
Severity: normal


I couldn't get CPU usage for each process, the column of %CPU was always
showing 0.00. I first found this when using conky, then I found ps, top
and xfce4-taskmanager having the same problem. By the way, I can get the
total CPU usage correctly.

Because ps and top are in package procps and depend on libproc, I
thought there may be something wrong with the libproc. But
xfce4-taskmanager doesn't depends on it, so maybe something wrong with
my kernel, then I reinstalled package linux-image-2.6.26-1-686. Nothing
changs.

Thanks for help!
