This issue just happened to me again ubuntu 16.04 ... although not specific to that release as it happens on earlier releases too
... it was after changing my Google password ... I then needed to reboot for another reason ... after boot I then launched Chrome browser Version 50.0.2661.11 dev (64-bit) and then noticed very high CPU usage ... on Chrome browser top right of menubar was a yellow triangle ... I clicked it and was prompted to login to Google ... after this login the high CPU usage immediately stopped -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174162 Title: chrome-browser makes gnome-keyring-daemon use 100% cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1174162/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
