I dunno exactly what caused the problem, a reinstall solved it, however it might be a good idea that the process be patched in some way that would halt itself if stuck looping like this for too long to prevent hardware failure as an unattended system could be damaged by overheating.
I will leave it up to the admins to close the bug as it is no longer affecting me. -- Process gconfd-2 causes cpu overuse and overheat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390733 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
