Same here, and it takes a ridiculously huge amount of time to gather info. Most recently:
1:10 - Thunderbird crashes; system becomes sluggish. 1:13 - apport reports that thunderbird crashed, offers to report problem. Accepted; apport begins gathering data and system becomes nearly unresponsive. 1:20 - apport reports that it has finished gathering data and offers to send it with the report. Accepted. System becomes nearly unresponsive until 1:42. During this time memory usage of apport-gtk balloons to about 300MB virtual, 181MB resident. 1:42 - system becomes more responsive. apport is still "sending data" 1:45 - launchpad web page comes up. How is it anything like acceptable that this application takes 35 minutes to process and report a single crash?? In my opinion even the 3 minutes taken for it to notice an "application problem" is unacceptable. -- Crash information collection depletes resources, clogs up and crashes system https://launchpad.net/bugs/71560 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
