This may have been happening as early as Maverick (Bug #658342). At that time it was marked as a duplicate "Multiple Keyboard Layouts unusable: continuously changes layout + 100% CPU usage" (Bug #625793). I have head keyboard layouts mentioned here ~ so maybe. As far as I know I am not using multiple layouts.
One thing I do observe ( probably totally irrelevant). I often hear my CPU fan pitch change when I leave my Ubuntu Desktop running long enough for the screen to go dark (especially I am running a Flash video in Youtube or something). I only mention this because I know that the idle-activation-enabled setting is related to the gnome-settings-daemon (at least to gsettings / dconf-editor) (http://askubuntu.com/questions/67355/how-do-i-completely-turn-off-screensaver-and-power-management). I cant find what's causing it because as so as I restore the screen to normal - CPU utilization goes back to normal. So if I wanted to do an experiment to see if it was gnome-settings- daemon was going berzerk while I was away I would need a console based way to capture CPU utilization for just that particular PID. I was thinking : "top -b -p PID" but that is a mess. Does anybody have a better idea. Or am I totally wasting my time here ?? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969359 Title: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969359/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
