Public bug reported:
This morning, synaptic offered 2 candidates after clicking on Mark All
Upgrades.
Both were for initramfs.
After the upgrades were completed, I logged out of the admin account and
into the regular user account.
The regular account is very sluggish. The 4 CPU cores consume between
0-50% at idle with no app running.
The time scale of the System Monitor is 15 seconds vs. the usual 60
seconds.
Booting into the admin account shows everything is normal. Switching to
the regular account triggers the excessive CPU consumption. The
Processes and Resources tabs of System Monitor are attached. I briefly
saw a kworker process at 100% CPU.
As is, this system is no longer viable.
An urgent response would be appreciated.
