Seems to be a duplicate of bug #340515 To determine if the vino server causes the problem (you can't use top/htop to view the cpu time in this case), you need to enter {{ ps ax|grep vino-server serveral times }} {{ 1) 3546 ? S 0:03 /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-config-prefix /vino-server-sNAKlu/ --sm-client-id 10745211812e4f72ae124308837940910700000063310022 --screen 0 3828 ? R 0:00 /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
