Public bug reported: Every 5 seconds a new instance of xfce4-display is being launched, this makes the computer unusable. This started happening after a recent upgrade/update.
Prior to that upgrade/update the xfce4-display program was being launched every time that power was added or removed from this laptop -- which was plenty annoying enough... Prior to installing 14.04 there was no problem at all with xfce4-display. I am running ubuntustudio on an hp pavilion dv7-4270us laptop I have tested this with both the Low Latency kernel that comes with ubuntustudio AND the Generic kernel, with the same behavior. 3.13.0-36: launches every 5 seconds (impossible to use computer) 3.13.0-35: launches every 5 seconds -- this is when the problem started 3.13.0-34: launches when wallpower is added or removed (very annoying) 3.13.0-29: same as 3.13.0-34 ubuntustudio 13.10 no problems ** Affects: xfce4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375020 Title: new instance of xfce4-display is being launched every 5 seconds after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4/+bug/1375020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
