I have a similar issue which I have tracked down to vino-server or at least disabling remote desktop sharing eliminates the problem. I see that you are also running vino-server. I hunted it down using dbus- monitor, this command will show who is sending dbus messages...
dbus-monitor | grep 'string \"[a-zA-Z\.]*\.[a-zA-Z\.]*\"' I found "org.freedesktop.indicator" and "org.gnome.Vino" were sending a lot of messages. When I unclicked "Sharing" -> "Allow other users to view your desktop" the dbus messages stopped and cpu utilization returned to normal. Turning vino back on causes the problem again. -- Intel VGA controller 82G33/G31 keeps processor always busy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371356 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
