[My SOLUTION] in my lubuntu 14.04 same problem. Googling I found 100%cpu utilisation is due to the two processes: ibus-daemon and ibus-x11
1st SOLUTION: start menu > Preferences > Language Support > Keyboard Input Method System: none 2n alternate SOLUTION: sudo apt-get remove ibus NOTE: IBUS is an "alternative" to setxkbmap IBUS has many problem with some keyboard under lubuntu 14.04 see also (ibus daemon cpu use flares up briefly when editing in Gedit) at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1299759 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367372 Title: Gedit uses 100% of the CPU while editing files Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: New Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gedit Making changes to a file(typing or deleting characters) makes gedit consume 100% of the CPU power available. I noticed this since I've installed Ubuntu 9.04. I was poking in the fonts setting under the appearance preferences and I thought I noticed a slight difference if I turn off all processing and make the font glyph render without subpixel rendering and hinting. However it is merely marginal. To make sure it was not the graphics drivers I switched from the ati drivers to vesa but that did not help at all. I am running on a 5 years old Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop with Radeon Mobility 7500(details in lspci-vvnn.log provided in link below), with 256MiB of RAM. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21840367/dmesg.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21840491/lspci-vvnn.log uname -a yields: Linux lordmetroid-laptop 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/367372/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
