Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 8.04, and the update manager is the orange / grey coloured icon on the top right of the Gnome window.
The update manager is going totally out of control on my computer. It is swallowing the entire system resources, causing the disk to thrash, and rendering both the Gnome desktop and the consoles totally unresponsive. I would have thought that something like an update manager would be set to run with a high "nice" level, but it seems to run at nice level zero, and it actually prevents me from using the computer. Today I had to switch off the computer's power in order to kill the update manager - there was literally no other way to access the computer, since it was using so many system resources that I could not even log in via a console. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Update manager is extremely problematic - had to cycle power to kill it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
