Today I experienced this problem for the first time. The machine that had the problem has been in operation for many years without this issue.
I want to draw attention to what ouahabix wrote in this thread back on 2014-07-27 as that would appear to be the same as my experience. My machine is a MythTV recorder with a large number of video recordings (1365 recordings across two directories). I do not often use Nautilus on that machine, or use Nautilus in my video directory. But in the last few days, I had been asked to copy one of the MythTV recordings for someone and so I wanted to copy a recording to another machine and I used Nautilus to do that. I did not close Nautilus. About 24 hours later I noticed the machine was sluggish, and I notice hud-service was using a lot of CPU. I am running 14.04 and keep the machine up to date with maintenance. I suspect that ouahabix was on to something way back then. It may not the only cause, but that observation and my experience are remarkably similar given that I haven't experienced the problem until I did what ouahabix said would cause the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300722 Title: hud-service is eating up 100% of one of my CPUs in a poll loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ufrs-apt/+bug/1300722/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
