I am running Oneiric x32 with nvidia driver and also get this problem when I enable xorg-edgers ppa. Purging that ppa removes the problem. Does not happen on my intel video laptop with same ppa enabled so seems xorg-edgers + nvidia (290.06) related?
System monitor lock up is repeatable but other GTK apps lock up also, e.g. transmission. When it locks up in transmission sometimes my entire gnome-shell session locks up and I must kill it from a console. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-monitor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881955 Title: System monitor freezes up when switching to Processes tab Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Gnome-system-monitor 3.20 becomes unresponsive when I switch to the Processes tab.
