It's possible that it's the same bug as bug #1302416 , but I don't know that there's specific evidence supporting that.
- Most (though not all) of the users reporting that bug experience it in conjunction with Chrome Remote Desktop, which I don't use and don't have installed as far as I know. - Most of the users reporting that bug seem to indicate that it behaves this way consistently -- or at least consistently after an upgrade. The bug I experienced was novel to my system, and it had been over a week since deja-dup was upgraded. The last update of packages generally was many hours before this problem showed up. - This bug appeared in conjunction with what I think is a separate underlying error -- something interfering with applications' ability to create the /run/user/1000/dconf/user file. A lot of "critical" errors were/are being logged in various terminals/logs about it during this session. However, deja-dup appears to be the only application whose handling of the problem generated thousands of failure messages and was accompanied by drastic consumption of system resources and resulting instability. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571320 Title: deja-dup-monitor eats RAM/CPU while trying to modify dconf user file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dconf/+bug/1571320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
