I don't know if this is a clue but it looked very strange: Some time ago I noticed that every time I checked processes with gnome system monitor ntop would use a lot of cpu (50-100%). When I killed ntop system monitor would be killed too! It happened consistently. Eventually I removed ntop in synaptics. After that system monitor would use 80-90% cpu and it took several seconds to resize its window. I then reinstalled ntop and now it runs normal 5-20% cpu, I can kill ntop without side effect.
Still ntop is apparently started automatically by system monitor (apparenatly also other *top utilities like atop) -- Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
