Same here. Went from an Ubuntu 22.04 to a 24.04.1 (using unity desktop
on X). At login time, everything was slow, and my 64Gb of ram were
swallowed by `indicator-keyboard-service` according to `top` (with `M`
shortcut to sort by memory taken).
Had to `sudo mv /usr/libexec/indicator-keyboard/indicator-keyboard-
service{,.old}` before killing it (as it will be restarted by
`systemctl`), then `killall -9 indicator-keyboard-service`... Did this
before taking the time to investigate properly.
I confirm the following work around (as suggested by @aein):
`systemctl --user edit indicator-keyboard.service` to add an override
with:
```
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/indicator-keyboard/indicator-keyboard-service
```
(thus removing the `--use-gtk` as @aein mentionned), saving the file,
quitting. Followed by:
```
## Only if necessary (if the move was done as I did)
sudo mv /usr/libexec/indicator-keyboard/indicator-keyboard-service{.old,}
```
Then:
```
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user restart indicator-keyboard.service
```
Fixed everything for me.
