Just found all of you have the same problem as I have just seen on my 8.10 system (32-bit OS, but 64-bit AMD CPU). No crash report, but /var/log/auth.log has this:
paul-ubuntu sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=paul So clearly lacking in privileges to reduce the 'nice' level. Strikes me as something that should be fixed, even if its just done by a prompt for sudo password to confirm your actions. -- 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
