Thanks, olksy (#24)! The "pkill -9 vino-server" solved the problem for me and now my CPU usage is back to the previously normal < 5% when idle.
I do not have metacity listed in my startup apps, but it shows in gPS when not using desktop effects; when using desktop effects, it disappears. Either way, the CPU usage even as I type it now is below 5-10% (single core processor, by the way), lower if not touching anything for a few seconds. -- CPU always 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
