This did happen before (with 18.04) and may be completely unrelated - it's just the normal consequence of running a graphics-intensive application. But it also may be the actual trigger... So the problem may be somewhere between Gnome, kernel and nvidia-driver... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1807096 Title: [nvidia] gnome-shell uses 100% cpu, triggered by games while using nvidia-driver Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: There's not much I can provide in terms of hard data, but maybe someone can help with getting to the bottom of this. After installing Ubuntu 18.10, I'm unable to use graphics-intensive games. My setup: ASUS F556U, with Intel® Core™ i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz × 4, Intel® HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2) + NVIDIA GeForce 940MX. While the Nvidia card is being used (Performance mode set in nvidia- settings) and I run a 3d game with Steam (happens e.g. with Black Mesa, Euro Truck Simulator 2...), everything works as expected, but after a relatively short amount of time gnome-shell starts eating up more and more CPU for some reason, effectively taking over the actual game. The game starts to stutter first, then slowly grinds to a completely unresponsive state. If I manage to quit the game, gnome- shell still does its thing. I'm sometimes even unable to enter the overview mode in Gnome. The only solution is to reboot. This does happen with nvidia-driver-390 from the standard repo, but also with nvidia-driver-410 from the graphics PPA. This was not the issue with Ubuntu 18.04. It also does not happen with nouveau, or with the Intel drivers (power saving mode in nvidia-settings). There's also nothing of note in the syslog.
