On my system it's definitely related to gnome-settings-daemon somehow. As soon as I log into gnome, even on a newly created test account, /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon jumps to 20% cpu with X at 60% cpu. Killing gnome-settings-daemon stops the problem, but, of course, gnome doesn't look as pretty. Re-launching the program crashes X. I have no issues with unusually high CPU usage when using flash (it's high when playing flash videos, but that's always been the case and drops when the video is done.) $ X -version X.Org X Server 1.5.2 Release Date: 10 October 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-16-server x86_64 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux Lappy486 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 Build Date: 24 October 2008 09:06:49AM $ apt-cache show gnome-settings-daemon Package: gnome-settings-daemon Priority: extra Section: gnome Installed-Size: 3448 Maintainer: Ubuntu Desktop Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Original-Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: amd64 Version: 2.24.0-0ubuntu3 -- [intrepid] high cpu usage after boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256188 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
