Public bug reported:
Today for the first time, and coincidentally looking for a different
setting, I went to the Settings->Privacy dialogue. I was also
(coincidentally for a different reason, relating to #1720149) already
tailing /var/log/syslog to a terminal.
Immediately on opening that dialogue, the syslog tail flooded with
whoopsie continually relaunching, causing enough work to raise the fan
speeds. This is a representative section from towards the end of me
letting it, before I killed the service, with some necessary
viciousness. Specifically
systemctl stop whoopsie
(didn't stop it)
systemctl disable whoopsie
(didn't stop it)
(find pid for whoopsie's root process and kill it)
(that stopped it)
Also for good measure ensured the automatic bug reporting option in the
privacy settings dialog was set to manual, which I think was done anyway
when I disabled whoopsie, though the dialog wasn't on top at the time
for me to be sure. It had been set to automatic when I first opened the
dialog.
Snippet from syslog attached. It was just repeating this continually for
several minutes before I stopped it.
