Public bug reported: metacity uses 100% CPU because "Wireless Network Authentication Required" boxes appear every "few minutes?" and never go away (unless manually closed). Eventually there are hundreds? of them and metacity uses 100% CPU dealing with them.

There doesn't appear to be any non-draconian way to prevent this misbehavior. I do not wish to for instance, "Disconnect". cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l apt-cache policy network-manager <-- does this also provide the applet? if not please fix network-manager: Installed: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.2 Candidate: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.2 Version table: *** 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Screenshot - notice window count in task bar" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1118656/+attachment/3519516/+files/WirelessNetworkAuthenticationRequired_WirelessNetworkAuthenticationRequired_WirelessNetworkAuthenticationRequired_WirelessNetworkAuthenticationRequired_WirelessNetworkAuthenticationRequired.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1118656 Title: nm-applet causing matacity 100% CPU usage via excessive dialog boxes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1118656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
