mintreport process fires up #151

Closed prateekamana closed 4 years ago

prateekamana commented 4 years ago

And started using my cpu cores intensively, to 100%, why does the process take so much cpu and why did it run up out of the blue ?

clefebvre commented 4 years ago

It's supposed to run, it checks for issues in the background.

Why does it take 100% CPU though? That's not normal. Can you kill all mintreport and mintreport-tray processes and run mintreport from the command line?

mintreport

See if it takes 100% CPU then, and which test is taking a long time (the name of the test being run shows up in the command line).

prateekamana commented 4 years ago

When I killed mintreport it stopped taking so much CPU, I didn't immediately try running mintreport as it only happened twice. I just ran mintreport from the command line and it doesn't take as much cpu as it does when it automatically starts running.

OK, we'll need to know more to be able to fix anything. If you find out what mintreport is doing when it's 100% or a way to always reproduce the issue, open a new issue on the mintreport repository.

In the meantime, if you want a workaround, you can disable mintreport in the startup applications.
