I am running 12.04 Desktop 64bit with an ATI Radeon 6670. I have encountered this bug as described above, dbus wildly blows up and compiz eats memory while gsd churns on to no end.
.xsession-errors contained this: libappindicator-CRITICAL **: app_indicator_set_label: assertion `IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed I have had this problem for a long time now, and it seems to me as though it does not occur unless I have connected to my computer via VNC. It seems to occur with more frequency/immediacy if I connect via VNC while the screensaver is running and the machine is locked. The only adequate solution has been restarting X. I have just deleted the keyboard file as detailed above, so maybe that will help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969359 Title: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969359/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
