Hi all, Go daemon keeps grabbing 100% of my cpu. I don't really know what it is, good tells me it is something to do with online accounts (which I never use). Is there some way to tame it? Or any way to switch it off completely? It is drawing a lot of power... Bill

who did it switch on? what package is it? why is it installed?
in other words: output of "ps aux" and if possible package
if it is really a daemon -> systemctl list-units | grep service systemctl disable whatever.service systemctl stop whatever.service

Thanks Reindl, Of course I stupidly killed it and do not know what causes it to start. I'll try to post this when I next have the problem -might be a couple of days. Bill

I had a look in my log and goa-daemon is not in the service configuration but is started on boot. Hwever, it was slo started before the current issue as follows:
Sep 21 21:42:40 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: JS LOG: System monitor applet enabling Sep 21 21:42:40 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: JS LOG: System monitor applet enabling done Sep 21 21:42:50 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: Window manager warning: CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct. Sep 21 21:42:50 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: Window manager warning: Got a request to focus 0x302a978 (ecfa-2013b) with a timestamp of 0. This shouldn't happen! Sep 21 21:42:50 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: Window manager warning: CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct. Sep 21 21:42:50 my-machine gnome-session[3859]: Window manager warning: Got a request to focus the no_focus_window with a timestamp of 0. This shouldn't happen! Sep 21 21:42:54 my-machine goa[3256]: goa-daemon version 3.8.3 starting [main.c:113, main()]
So here it got started outside boot, maybe by this gnome-session WM error. Bill

This will prevent systemd from starting the daemon at boot, but won't prevent other programs or services from starting it. If you really want to drive a stake through its heart use this:
systemctl mask whatever.service

What's the exact name of the program? I've tried searching for it with yum and found nothing. In any event, there should be a service that you can mask to keep it from starting.
