Title:
whoopsie uses 100% CPU indefinitely on chrome crash file
Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
$@ lsb_release -rd
No LSB modules are available.
Description: Ubuntu 23.04
Release: 23.04
$@ apt-cache policy whoopsie
whoopsie:
Installed: 0.2.77
Candidate: 0.2.77
Version table:
*** 0.2.77 500

TL;DR whoopsie will happily consume 100% for hours in what seems like a
pretty futile attempt to deal with massive crash files. It should be more aware
of what is a realistic crash to upload.
This has happened a couple of times today, so I searched, found
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1245078/woopsie-upload-all-process-
consumes-cpu-100/1296481#1296481
which suggested looking in /var/crash/
where I found
$@ ls -lh /var/crash/
total 8.3G
-rw-r----- 1 fergal whoopsie 8.3G May 8 23:03
_opt_google_chrome_chrome.1000.crash
I don't know what whoopsie was doing but I doubt that was ever going
to be productive and I cannot have a service that is going to
occasionally use 100% CPU for hours.
Here's what `top` had to say before I killed it
94802 root 20 0 11.7g 11.3g 58624 R 100.0 36.6 108:11.76
whoopsie-upload
So it had been trying for 108 minutes and was using 11G of RAM.
I would love to enable crash reporting but this is unacceptable. I've
deleted the crash file and uninstalled whoopsie. I'll happily
reinstall it if it gains some safeguards against this kind of thing.
