I was having the same problem, but brettalton's explanation helped understand it. I hadn't realized the system monitor only showed "My Processes" by default. I think most semi-technical people like me would have this problem.
Maybe the "view process" options should be moved outside of the main menu? There's room for a drop-down box on the left side in the same row as the "End Process" button. -- System monitor: Resources displays 99% to 100% cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104013 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
