** Please change the status of this bug to Confirmed I can confirm that this is still happening in Utopic.
My story is same as Ritberg's. After I connect via VNC to my vinagre daemon the io usage slowly (during approx 20 hours) climbs to 100% and the system proceeds to hang while excessively writing to disk. strace shows that dconf-service is writing /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/keyboard/numlock-sate on and off all the time. This might help to diagnose the bug: Setting /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/keyboard/remember-numlock-state to off immediately fixed this issue for me without any additional side effects. I recommend shipping default installations with this flag to off. Please note that the device in question is Aspire V3-551G and the built-in keyboard does not have a num lock led. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969359 Title: [keyboard]: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu (and blinking numlock) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969359/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
