woopsie-upload-all process consumes cpu 100%
You probably have some processes creating crash-reports with large files. Look in /var/crash/
if there are some big crash-reports. When those are being uploaded to canonical it can produce a high system load.
On my system I had a 361MB file:
_usr_bin_baloo_file.1000.crash
So baloo
, the kde search-assistant created a problem.
I don't need baloo
on my Ubuntu system (it was installed as a dependency packet when I installed KDE dolphin
) so I disabled it with
balooctl disable # stops the service
rm -rf .local/share/baloo/ # removes the index files; they can be several GB
and delete the crash reports with
sudo rm /var/crash/*baloo*
Uninstall the whoopsie
and apport
services. These are crash reporting services which can face issues.
sudo systemctl stop apport
sudo systemctl stop whoopsie
sudo systemctl disable apport
sudo systemctl disable whoopsie
sudo apt-get remove apport whoopsie
