Hello, Same problem here, upgrades Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 last week: - /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon using 100% CPU after back from screen-saver - Keyboard "NumLock" blinking very fast - If kill the gnome-settings-daemon if came back and if screen-saver runs again the bug repeats... (my keyboard is a Dell Model: SK-8135, don't know if matters)
I also notice something strange, when running "/usr/lib/gnome-settings- daemon/gnome-settings-daemon --debug" manually I can see the output messages, and just by hitting "NunLock" on my keyboard I get the message: "(gnome-settings-daemon:6711): libappindicator-CRITICAL **: app_indicator_set_label: assertion `IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed" Same message that keeps repeating when the gnome-settings-daemon goes crazy and start consuming 100% CPU. Workaround?! Maybe, removing the keyboard plugin file from the g-s-d and restarting the daemon: $ sudo mv /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/keyboard.gnome-settings-plugin ~/ $ kill <gnome-settings-daemon-PID> kill it just to re-start the daemon, of if you're running by hand as me, just CTRL+C and start it again. Well... after that I can lock the screen, let the screen-saver starts, hit "NunLock" on my keyboard and I don't get the error. I just did that 40 minutes ago, I could be wrong, just get excited to post it because the error message when hitting "NunLock" disappeared.

I am not sure how to restart gnome-settings-daemon, I tried opening a terminal and running gnome-settings-daemon again but this crashes my system - my external monitor switches off and my laptop locks up. I am able to reboot with SysRq+REISUB. Sorry I cannot provide more information - it happens twice now, maybe someone can tell me how to get more information for the next time this happens. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon: Installed: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-20.33-generic 3.2.12 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.95-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 30 17:16:02 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969359/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
