I've got this issue myself; gdb has one of my CPU's pegged at 100% and I have a lot of /usr/share/apport/apport-kde processes. This may have happened after Thunderbird died and I had to kill -9 one of the Thunderbird processes.
Here's what ps ax turned up for the gdb process: gdb --batch --ex file /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin --ex core-file /tmp/tmpZqFuQz --ex set backtrace limit 2000 --ex p -99 --ex bt full --ex p -99 --ex thread apply all bt full --ex p -99 --ex info registers --ex p -99 --ex x/16i $pc --ex p -99 --ex print (char*) __abort_msg -- [karmic][beta] apport-kde spawns many processes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
