A few weeks ago, I noticed that my Arch system sometimes made a noise. I thought it was maybe a hardware issue, like the disk was in continual use and maybe manifesting a fault. it happened infrequently, and I didn't think much about it.
However, the problem recurred just now. Running 'top', I saw that 'autocutsel' was using 100% of Cpu2, and is running under systemd. I have LDXE running on a vncserver.
How can I actually stop/restart autocutsel? It doesn't exist as a service, and typing "sudo systemctl restart vncserver" didn't help, either. In the end I just rebooted my computer, which seems a bit of a Microsofty approach.

Where do you start "autocutsel"? For example, I start it in my "~/.xinitrc" file.
Please post the contents of the file that starts "autocutsel".
You can kill it by running "killall autocutsel".

$HOME/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart contains the line:
@autocutsel -f

What makes you think it is running under systemd? Please paste the output of:
systemctl --user list-unit-files --state=enabled && systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled

Here is a list of clipboard managers: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cl … d_managers
Do you have any other clipboard managers installed?
Offline
xclip is also installed.
I think it's running under systemd because when I type top, it appears in the systemd hierarchy:
systemd - autocutsel
Maybe it's clashing with lxclipboard, because I also see:
systemd - perl - sh - lxsession - lxclipboard
Executing
systemctl --user list-unit-files --state=enabled && systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
yields:
0 unit files listed.

According to the output of "pstree" on my computer, EVERYTHING is owned by "systemd".
You can try uninstalling "xclip". You can't uninstall "lxclipboard"... but the next time "autocutsel" acts up, you could try killing the "lxclipboard" process, and see if things clear up?

OK thanks. It's not a problem that occurs often, but when it does, I can hear my computer whirling away.
