Bug Description
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) → xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) |
