This can be EASILY RECREATED with the Super Start 7.3.3 extension in Firefox.
Just right click on any tab to add to Super Start, click "Add this tab to Super Start" and the problem will occur in 12.04 as well as 14.04. In 14.04 the processor saturates 100%. In 12.04 the processor doesn't sat 100% but there is some kinda infinite disk activity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517021 Title: gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/517021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
