It seems it has problems with raising permissions. Any operation that would require superuser's permission crashes System Monitor. I find it particularly annoying when trying to kill some other user's process.
ATM the only way I know of to get around this bug is to launch SM explicitly with superuser's permissions: sudo gnome-system-monitor I have also recompiled the package as mentioned earlier and it seemed to work for a while, but recently the bug has reappeared. This last part is particularly confusing. -- System Monitor crashes when lowering nice value of process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206583 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
