Also there is a fix for this, which I am using. Follow these (assuming you are logged in with "user" account) :
user@hostname#> sudo killall nautilus user@hostname#> sudo nautilus & (do add sudo while starting nautilus) What I figured out was, in my laptop nautilus get started with "user" permissions instead of "root" on startup. This created permission issues, and thus nautilus end up taking so much resources. Running with "root" helped. These are the comparisons, if it can help to anyone : While running with "user" Overall computer load : 2.4 CPU : 110% While running with "root" Overall computer load : 0.3 CPU : 5% -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069843 Title: Nautilus consuming memory and cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1069843/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
