Ubuntu 13.04 indicator-datetime-service loads 100% CPU

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1795 / 3 Years ago, tue, july 13, 2021, 4:44:21

Ubuntu 13.04 64bits desktop (freshly downloaded from the site a couple of days ago)

    indicator-datetime-service

loads CPU up to 100%( 1-2 core)

and

   gnome-settings-daemon

eats whole RAM just after Ubuntu loading.

How to fix it?

There is a bug in dev forums but it is not clear for me how to fix it (just applied a new update to the system - no way).

Deleting files from ~/.cache/; or reboot; or login with 'gnome-fallback'- no help. Even if I kill gnome-settings-daemon it may arise again later.

Note: I have a VNC4 server running on Ubuntu and gnome-core(GNOME Shell 3.6.3.1).

Note: I removed ntpdate but no help. Calendar on desktop is inactive for some time, network time is off.

As described in Ubuntu Bug #774071, in my case it helped to substitute default dependency of geoclue-provider virtual package.

My Solution

I installed geoclue-ubuntu-geoip package to replace the existing
geoclue-yahoo package (which I uninstalled).

Probably the Yahoo Maps admins noticed high load of their geolocation service or maybe their devs changed something, which resulted in geoclue-yahoo not working correctly.

For this work I've used a text-mode package manager:

aptitude

Because I know it handles missing dependencies quite well and suggests solutions, for example to install one of packages to satisfy some dependency.

One can also use a graphical package manager:

synaptic

To select any other package that is listed in geoclue-provider - and there are many:

geoclue-ubuntu-geoip

geoclue-gypsy

geoclue-gsmloc

geoclue-gpsd

geoclue-yahoo

geoclue-skyhook

geoclue-plazes

geoclue-manual

geoclue-localnet

geoclue-hostip

geoclue-geonames
