I am seeing high CPU utilization by gnome-shell process as well. Especially when using Chrome Web Browser and moving/resizing windows. Chrome usage goes up too. This issue happens consistently on 18.04. The system becomes barely responsible to user input. Based on strace output of gnome-shell proc

René, You need to have logged in from another machine (via ssh) and run gdb from there. That way gdb won't hang when you stop the shell with Ctrl+C. Please also remember to try uninstalling the nvidia driver (briefly) so as to compare with nouveau. -- You received this bug notification because

Daniel, Now I have experienced the 100% CPU to more times and both times I tried to follow the guide here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace#Already_running_programs but it's not possible to go to do "If the program hangs but doesn't crash you can press ctrl+c in gdb while the program is frozen and

I had high CPU and unresponsive gnome desktop on older Ubuntu virtual machine that was upgraded to 18.04 LTS from earlier past LTS versions on VirtualBox 5.2.18 or earlier running on Windows 10. The high gnome-shell CPU and unresponsiveness was randomly triggeded eg. by resizing application windows

The problem is not there on a regular basis and I have only seen it 3 times since the installation of this computer. I don't know how to reproduce the problem and I can't live with the pure performance of 'nouveau' on this production computer. Why do you suspect the nvidia driver to be the proble

Can you please try uninstalling the Nvidia driver (for a moment), reboot, and if the default 'nouveau' driver works for you then please let us know if that also avoids the 100% CPU problem? I am wondering if the problem is unique to the Nvidia driver. -- You received this bug notification becau

It does not end by it self, tried to let it run for 48 hours, but still at 100%. I have to restart to get it to normal. I'll do that next time it hugs the CPU. Normally it does so after 5-10 days of continuers running. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bu
