disabling makes freeze duration much shorter but you lose your desktop session every time. DATA LOSS inevitable.
sudo perl -p -i -n -e "s/enabled=1/enabled=0/" /etc/default/apport sudo systemctl disable apport sudo service apport stop If I remove apport and whoopsie, then the duration of the freeze is reduced to 5 seconds under light load and desktop is not lost. This uninstalls ubuntu-bug as well. sudo apt-get purche apport whoopsie The system still freezes and under load it could be much worse. Gnome- shell is apparently still crashing but it isn't compounded by apport delays. If I reinstall apport but not whoopsie, I still have the long delay. cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern |/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P %E If I change it to coredump, gnome-shell still crashes the whole desktop sudo bash -c 'echo "core" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern' If I change it back and then purge apport, it changes the pattern to: !/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P %E And gnome-shell crashes somewhat gracefully, allowing you to keep your desktop. What happens under system load remains to be seen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1916005 Title: gnome-shell hangs window decorations and dialogs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1916005/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
