This is still happening to me as well, using 3.4.2-0ubuntu15. In fact, I think 3.4.2-0ubuntu15 CAUSED the problem to recurr. I had experienced it in the past and solved using the numlock workaround via dconf-editor.
Today I ran an update, and immediately afterward the problem came back. I don't know for sure that the new version of g-s-d was installed with this update, but it seems like a suspicious coincidence -- in any case, I definitely do now have the new version installed. Unfortunately, neither the numlock fix is working (since it was already applied), nor removing /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/keyboard .gnome-settings-plugin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in 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 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
