** Description changed: Unfortunately not much more informations at this time but this is what I have. 1. At some point the gnome-settings-daemon will start utilising about 95% of one CPU core, iotop will show dconf-services hovering around 3 place and lsof will show show gnome-settings-daemon using .config/dconf/user. 2. This has happened five times now every time on a fairly busy system e.g Firefox and Chromium multiple tab some with active content like flash and html5, one or more virtualbox machines and a terminal or two. 3. the first three times were weeks apart but the last two was on the same day after a reboot for the kernel update. - 4. sudo kill -9 PID of gnome-settings-daemon restores the system to normal. + 4. sudo kill -9 PID of gnome-settings-daemon restores the system to normal. (Works somtimes) 5. Afterwards the .config/dconf/ folder will have several user.????? files. If you need me to collect specific information next time let know. + + Happened again but this time no.4 did not work the gnome-settings-daemon was killed and "/usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch -background none" started maxing out the one CPU core. After awhile gnome-settings-daemon restarted and continued maxing out the core. + "sudo restart lightdm" did however bring the system back. + "sudo restart dbus" was tried one time it worked but killed the wifi all my running program survived at leased allowing me to save and reboot. + + + Mmm this may have something to do with using a Bluetooth numpad as the bug started happening regularly this week and only happens during working hours. I started doing data entry this week in a VM, using the numpad more than normal. + + PS. Is it better or update the bug info here or in the comments?
