Comment 100 for bug 31037

Vino server is killing my machine.

I use a Dell SX280 as a file server & to VPN. It worked flawlesly in ubuntu 10.04. After testing 12.04 on some other machines i decided to upgrade the server to 12.04. Big enormous mistake. Vino server at will puts the cpu to 99%, A vague idea is that at some point trying to VPN out-of-state to the box, the connection failed. Arriving home two days later the machine fan was screaming at full speed. This was 6 months ago.

Nowadays 12.04 also reports a system failure for samba and (I guess) tries to send an error report. No idea if it goes thru, nor if it is related.

My big problem is that I cannot find an answer/fix/workaround to prevent vino-server from overheating the little system.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks.
