I do not have vpn or virtualbox and this affects me. It happened after an update today on 12.04 (however the system was not updated for a long time). I will remove virtualbox and vpn from the title.
** Summary changed: - [keyboard]: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu (vnp, virtualbox, ...)? + [keyboard]: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu (and blinking numlock) ** Description changed: + Check comment 33 for a possible workaround. + + Original message: + ----------------- + I don't know how to reproduce this bug, but after varying amounts of normal usage of my laptop, I notice gnome-settings-daemon is consuming 100% (approx) CPU. I am not sure how to restart gnome-settings-daemon, I tried opening a terminal and running gnome-settings-daemon again but this crashes my system - my external monitor switches off and my laptop locks up. I am able to reboot with SysRq+REISUB. Sorry I cannot provide more information - it happens twice now, maybe someone can tell me how to get more information for the next time this happens. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon: - Installed: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 - Candidate: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 - Version table: - *** 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 0 - 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 + Candidate: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 + Version table: + *** 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 0 + 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-20.33-generic 3.2.12 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.95-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 30 17:16:02 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_GB:en - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_GB:en + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969359 Title: [keyboard]: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu (and blinking numlock) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969359/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
