I also asked this question here.

When I do apt-get update, it keeps on updating. I stopped the process at 22 Gb - I just canceled it... Any idea about what to do?

ot sure if related, but HTTP process is running 2x and getting at 70% cpu per process... System gets all sluggish. Using cpulimit I can limit it to only 10% or so. Removed webmin because i thought the python from that was the cause.. not sure now.

I noticed that when running apt-get update, the process start 2x an python3 http process? Which is really CPU consuming ~70% per process.

You could delete the soures.list file, and then push setting and then the update icon, and then hatch the upper chranoical, and then reload and it might work fine this way

  • How do you mean push setting? Did you mean moving sources.list to sources.list.old and then do an apt-get update?

  • I did what i just said: move sources.list to sources.list.od and then did an apt-get update. Spotify source gave some errors about the key, so i re-added that key. Looks like the problem is solved. Will mark as answer comming monday if situation doesnt change.
