[Bug 1629150] Re: background process apport routinely using 100% CPU

[Brian Murray]

Looking at your CrashReports.txt file it seems that mediascanner has
crashed.  This would cause apport to then run and information to the
crash file before sending it to the Ubuntu Error Tracker.

Title:
  background process apport routinely using 100% CPU

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Seems to be when mediascanner-2.0 is not running when *it's* usually
  the process that takes up 100% cpu (
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner2/+bug/1398614
  )...that apport begins to run at 100% cpu for an indeterminate
  time(after awhile of heating up my computer, I typically kill -9 it).
