Public bug reported:
After a fresh install of 13.10, a few minutes after using it (I opened
several programs), system became very unresponsive, to the point that
mouse cursor was almost frozen on screen (it would move a few seconds
after I move the mouse), and doing anything with computer was almost
impossible. At the same time, I noticed that something is working
heavily with hard disk (I have 3, and I don't know which one). After
several minutes of unresponsiveness, I managed to restart the computer
from console (ctrl+alt+f1; this also took some 30 seconds from pressing
to actual console screen).
After the restart, exactly the same has happened. I tried to restart
several times after that and it was all the same. After a while, I
installed iotop and found that deja-dup-monitor was making enormous disk
readings. I killed its process and system became responsive again. After
that, I disabled autostart for deja-dup-monitor and had no problems with
it since.
I don't know why this program behaves as it does, but I think that it is
unacceptable behaviour, especially on a fresh install. As I remember, I
had the same experience with my previous install, 12.04 (removed deja-
dup completely).
