I ran into a similar issue, but found an alternate fix. If I opened my home directory in file browser, evince-thumbnailer would hit 100%, and stay that way. Additionally, no thumbnails would show up in the window.
To make a long story short, I'd run some commands as root in my home directory. As a result, a few files were owned by root, with permissions that didn't give my account access. Once I chown'd everything in my home directory to be owned by myself, the problem went away. Personally, I think that evince-thumbnailer should deal with EPERM errors properly, but as usual YMMV. -- evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384062 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
