This began happening to me after installing chrome's remote desktop and rebooting as well.
I'm runing Ubuntu-Gnome 14.04 LTS. I had to drop down to TTY, and killall deja-dup-monitor. As far as I can tell, deja-dup is a backup tool that I currently don't use, and it doesn't look like anything depends on it. I removed it entirely and my system has been fine since then. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302416 Title: deja-dup monitor was taking 6GB of memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1302416/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
