Title:
Gnome Software consumes way
I've hit this a few times and was never ever to find anything useful.
However, this time I think I know what triggered the load. I manually
installed d-feet with apt, and within a couple minutes removed it with
apt. My laptop load spiked and stayed that way until I killed the
process over 2
Same experience than Olivier on resume from suspend. gnome-software was
using 200% CPU.

Gnome Software consumes way too much
It's done it again this morning. See attached screenshot.
Again, I have not opened the gnome-software GUI, only applied a few
updates manually with apt:

Commandline: apt dist-upgrade
Requested-By: osomon (1000)
Install: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock:amd64
Seen that this morning on a fully updated artful. Shortly after boot, a
gnome-software process started consuming 100% CPU and continued doing so for a
few hours, after which I killed it.
