My normal use includes running Google Chrome, Eclipse PDT, terminal, CXOffice, Spotify/Last.fm, Pidgin, Gedit. I cannot pinpoint a particular action I'm taking that causes it, I just notice that my laptop fan is going crazy, I check the process list and gnome-settings-daemon is up there using 100%.
You mentioned it could be pulseaudio - I do listen to last.fm/Spotify (both Linux clients), so perhaps that could be the trigger? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969359 Title: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969359/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
