@Colin, that's the right package, sorry if my comment confused you. I was mostly pointing out that gconf is a legacy service, it's still used by mostly because some code didn't get ported to gsettings/dconf yet. It's going to drop/stop running at some point, but meanwhile it seems fine to change the polling delay.
Do you plan to send a patch/do the change yourself, or would you prefer for somebody in the desktop team to do that? ** Tags added: ubuntu-desktop-trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292021 Title: gconfd-2 is polling every 30 seconds calling periodic_cleanup_timeout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/1292021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
