I'm seeing the same thing: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu. It also
keeps turning num lock on and off rapidly. The num lock toggling doesn't show a
clear pattern, but it does appear to happen more often when I'm typing or using
media keys (such as volume up and down).
When I kill the dae
No. All I have to do is boot up ubuntu 12.04 and log in. It doesn't
(always?) happen right away though, it usually starts after I've used my
media keys to reduce/increase volume (that might just be a coincidence
though). Logging out and back in doesn't seem to help although it does
stop for as long
