noticed the same thing and solved it by adding a killall -9 nautilus to /etc/gdm/PreSession/default and /etc/gdm/PostSession/default . This prevents nautilus from chewing cycles when people are not logged in instead of just waiting untill someone logs in again. This also works if X dies randomly or someone does Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
Beware that if you use xdmcp or some other way of having more than one session at once then other nautilui will be killed by this . Nautilus should restart automatically for any effected user so this might not be as bad as it seems , ymmv . How about a patch ubuntu peeps ? -- [Gutsy] high processor activity after logging out and then logging in again https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
