Bug Description
This discussion about how we could detect high cpu load on Touch petered out:
https:/
It's a difficult problem to solve without generating lots of false positives. However, I wonder if we could approach the issue slightly differently, atleast on the desktop for now by making apport essentially run top(1) [1] and check to see if:
- the top CPU and/or memory processes relate to the package the user has just run apport-bug for.
If so, ask the user if they are raising a bug due to a suddenly slow/hot/noisy system and then attach the following the the apport-filed bug report:
- the top(1) output.
- the stack traces for the offending binaries ("sudo cat /proc/$pid/stack").
