Dear Maintainer,
Please see attached screenshots.
Not exactly sure what lead up to this but I don't remember it when I first
installed Debian 13. My hunch is they started appearing after I updated to
Debian 13.1, not 100% sure on that.
There is always about 3 together near the top of my processes list, Usually
they are in the low single digit percent range or sub 1% but as you can
see in
the screenshots, sometimes they get into the high single digits percent
range.
In doing some research online and with the help of two different AI
apps, Its
pointing towards something to do with my GPU and/or nouveau drivers
and/or PCI
power management One AI app gave me this error > "PID 59 is stuck in the
Nouveau driver trying to complete a display atomic commit operation -
specifically waiting for a notification that never completes properly"
The AI suggestions were to install the NVIDIA drivers which I don't want too
because I didn't have good experience with them on Debian 12.
I would like to check this out a bit further and see if we can find the
problem.
Regards,
Benjamin

ok. As there is (at least for now) nothing to do on the Debian side, I'm
closing the bug. You can still mark this bug as forwarded if and when
you contacted upstream about it.
Best regards
