I just identified the package where the ding.js belong to, and removed it with $ apt remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng that solved the problem for me.
I decided to check with your "disable", and installed the package again. Then I logout/logged back to activate it. Now ding.js does NOT take cpu time! It usually takes 0% now, while it took around 100% cpu before! I added some files and folders to my empty ~/Desktop, and still have no this bug anymore. Then I rebooted OS and still have no problem. P.S. I remember there was desktop icons blinking after ubuntu installation, thats why I removed all files from ~/Desktop immediately, before identifying and removing the package (there were only a few files\folders). Note, I did not file this bug, I filed dublicate of this bug. May be the author of this bug can recheck, what stuff he has in ~/Desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081198 Title: ding.js is consuming too much CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng/+bug/2081198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
