I can confirm, removing stale configuration makes gconfd to behave "normally".
I had exactly the same problem after fresh installing 8.10 with /home partition from 8.04 retained. gconfd was constantly eating ~30% of CPU, effectively draining the battery of my laptop in 40 minutes. I asked on ubuntuforums if anybody discovered such weirdness, but got no response (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=983335). -- CPU always 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293535 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
