Public bug reported: Periodically something starts 'find' program in the background with readdir smth in options and it slows down ubuntu to the point the music and video got hiccups, mouse lags etc. I suspect it's smth related to package or locatedb updates but can't pinpoint the culprit yet.
Anyway, the bugis in slowdown - background tasks should never-ever affect the interactive programs running by user. Ideally they should be started in dedicated, heavily policed systemd slice. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460985 Title: periodic find task slow ubuntu to death To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1460985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
