I have the same problem on a HTPC running Jaunty. I don't need to VNC into the machine for this to happen. A day or two of uptime will eventually make the vino-server process start eating CPU resources up all by itself.
A quick and dirty way to fix this is to just kill -9 the process. I keep screen running on the machine with top running in a window. I'll ssh in, screen -x, and just hit "k" within top, specify the PID of the vino- server process, and send the 9 signal to kill it. I haven't figured out why, but the process ends up restarting within a second of killing it. However, it isn't eating CPU resources when it restarts. -- Vino-server takes 90% of cpu when only listening for incoming connections https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31037 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
