I encountered an issue with gnome-system-monitor that caused the cpu usage to goto 100%.
I had a bad behaving task that created about 10,000 zombie tasks. If I clicked on the system monitor applet, when it tried to launch gnome- system-monitor I never saw the GUI and the CPU spiked to 100%. I killed the process that created the zombies, and gnome-system-monitor started behaving normally for me. If it's of any interest, Firefox created the zombies. I think an ill- behaving extension was trying to update itself and created them. -- Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
