Thanks. In my experience 10% or so CPU on an i7 is normal. Not ideal, but normal.
Can you please detail what you are doing at the time when gnome-shell uses 10% CPU? ** Summary changed: - Gnome shell and Xorg high cpu usage + Gnome shell and Xorg use at least 10% CPU -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828967 Title: Gnome shell and Xorg use at least 10% CPU Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Related to Issue #1773959 On a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.04 on a 2019 Dell XPS 13, I have very high CPU usage from gnome-shell and Xorg (each one is taking up around 10%) when no other process is running. This increased greatly to more than 20% for gnome-shell when I enabled showing seconds in the top bar. After disabling seconds, I went back to ~10% cpu usage for each of those processes again. I opened this because most of the other relevant issues are closed, expired, or marked as invalid. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-05-13 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Release amd64 (20190416) Package: gnome-shell 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-13.14-generic 5.0.6 Tags: disco Uname: Linux 5.0.0-13-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip docker input lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1828967/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
