Duplicate Cinnamon Process on login

Post by shanemeagher »

Hi,

After updating to LM18.3 Cinnamon with Cinnamon 3.6.6, I've found that many of the cinnamon-* processes are duplicated and the initial cinnamon process is consistently using 12-13% of the CPU:

I've done some searching but haven't been able to identify where to look or how to to diagnose the issue. The logs

Code: Select all

~/.cinnamon/glass.log
shows the second process and

Code: Select all

~/.cinnamon/glass.log.last
shows the initial cinnamon process but neither shows an issue.

Restarting cinnamon via Cinnamon Debugger ([Window] + [L] => Restart Cinnamon) doesn't stop the first process and both processes run as

Code: Select all

cinnamon --replace
. Stopping the initial cinnamon process via System Monitor doesn't appear to cause any issues as my desktop continues to run.

System Information uploaded here

Thanks in advance for any direction.
Shane
