Hello! Have same problem: With zsh as default, every time I press "Enter" in terminal there is 4s delay in whole system. I monitored CPU and CPU utilization is 100% every time I press enter in the terminal.
So, the problem was that I removed useless folders in $HOME: Desktop, Music, Templates, etc. After, I noticed that value of $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR is "$HOME/" (But it was XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" before deletion of that directories) WORKAROUND: I created all that stuff again and changed ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs Now it looks like that: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos" Then re-login. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815550 Title: gnome-shell high memory and CPU usage when desktop files are constantly created or deleted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1815550/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
