This is not just about the 100% CPU usage. Unity-panel-service increases memory usage by 2MB every second you leave the sound menu open after you pause rhythmbox. This is in addition to the, in my case, 75% to 85% CPU usage.
I stopped the music and left the computer for a while with the soundmenu opened. When I came back unity-panel-service using 1.6 GB of RAM. I had to kill it from a virtual terminal to make the system responsive again. Here's how I reproduce it. 1) Open system monitor or top and sort by memory usage 2) Open soundmenu and start Rhythmbox from there. 3) Press play in the soundmenu to start a song 4) Press pause in the soundmenu Now while soundmenu is open, unity-panel-service memory usage increases at a 2MB per second rate and it never goes down, not even closing rhythmbox or soundmenu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806848 Title: unity-panel-service at 100% cpu when opened /w rb without album cover To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/806848/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
