I think I have the same problem, constantly 40% to 50% nautilus usage, doing nothing.
It seem related to a network share I have mounted. I found its name into a strace output. When I realized this, I've tried to access it from nautilus. After this access, CPU utilization went suddenly down. Hope this helps! -- nautilus process uses 100% CPU for 30 sec - 2 minutes on computer startup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
