mate-settings daemon @ 100% CPU usage ?

Post by badSparks »

Did a clean install of 17.1 mate and my issue is, sometimes mate-settings daemon uses 100% CPU and there is nothing I can do short of doing kill -STOP on it.
I have searched around, and it seems this is a semi common problem, with no real fixes available.

Anyone know a nicer way to fix the issue other than doing kill -STOP on it ?

Yes, I read that before, sorry I didn't mention it.

It didn't work, it still does it, but, I don't know what triggers it. Sometimes it is fine, other times, boom, CPU skyrockets.

Might have to drop mate, and that is a shame, since it was looking to be pretty good.

Rats thought it may have helped. Did this also happen with Mate 17? I often wonder about that compiz stuff 17.1 do you have that enabled also.

Sorry not more help Good luck.

Yeah, I also did a hash check before I burn.
And, yeah, this has been an ongoing issue for awhile, even before mint 17.
Compiz is disabled as well.

Look at the ~/.xsession-errors file right after it happens again, and check whether it contains a lot of messages like this one:

Code: Select all

dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create file '/run/user/1000/dconf/user': Permission denied.  dconf will not work properly.
