Title:
Last LTS version of ubuntu use a deprecated gnome version with crashes
and known performance issues
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Sometimes gnome becomes too slow and consumes too much CPU, during the
day sometimes it runs very smoothly and suddenly it gets extremely
slow and the cpu consumption gets too high.
I have notified the Gnome development team of this, providing all
possible evidence, but they have told me that my system uses an
outdated and unsupported version of Gnome:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6788
It is the version that comes by default in the latest updated version
of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Why is Ubuntu using an outdated version that has known performance
issues?, how can I fix the problem I'm currently having with my
system?
The main problem:
Enviroment:
whk@whk-MS-7D53:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
whk@whk-MS-7D53:~$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 42.5
I don't use third party extensions in gnome shell, the problem is observed in
xorg and in wayland.
My hardware:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
- RAM: 128 GB 3200Mhz.
- Disk: WD BLACK 2TB SN770 NVMe.
- Motherboard: MSI MPG X570S Edge.
- GPU: XFX Speedster MERC319 AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT.
Sometimes gnome becomes too slow and consumes too much CPU, during the day
sometimes it runs very smoothly and suddenly it gets extremely slow and the cpu
consumption gets too high, the dock barely responds, the windows move very
slowly, but at the same time I can open a new generation game and run
excellently at 60fps (need for speed heat over steam), so I doubt it's a
graphic driver problem.
I don't know why this happens, it happens randomly during the course of the
day. I've checked the computer logs but currently I don't see anything relevant.
Some time ago I raised a similar problem:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker/-/issues/342 , i still have the
same symptoms but without the log messages in rsyslog.
I have created a video reproducing this problem:

Some points to consider:
- I don't use gnome shell extensions.
- Gnome software and Snap store are uninstalled so the consumption issue
doesn't go that way.
- All my apps are closed, I don't have any personal apps open in the
background.
- The open directory has no files so I rule out that it could be a high load
due to content rendering.
- Disk usage is low so there are no IO blocks.
- The whole gnome environment gets slow, not just the windows, but also the
context menu display, side dock navigation and top menu display when trying to
shut down the computer, but the content of the other applications is very fast,
so I don't think it's a general problem with the equipment or hardware,
otherwise the other applications would have a very bad performance, but it's
not like that. I think the problem is caused solely by gnome, but I don't know
how to diagnose this.
If you need more information or to run some kind of diagnostic, let me
know.
