The very idea of bugs expiring because the OP doesn't provide any given piece of information is stupid. I'm always puzzled at how it's such a common practice in bug trackers. It makes no sense to close a bug unless it's either fixed or found to be invalid. What's the point in waiting for other people to stumble on the same bug and report it again and again? Also you're demanding an unreasonable amount of work on the side of the reporter (yes, I know, you're not "demanding" anything strictly speaking, but I mean expecting it to be done by the reporter rather than by the developers or triagers): to uninstall a driver and test whether the bug is still present in a completely different configuration. Whatever the answer is, the bug exists and isn't any less of a bug: the test would serve the purpose of TRIAGING the bug, which is not something that can reasonably be expected to be done by the user. Now, of course it never hurts to ask the reporter to try something, but putting the bug in "incomplete" status (which implies it expiring if the original poster doesn't do that) is wrong. That's like closing a bug because it's too difficult to fix (note that difficult to reproduce just mean difficult to investigate which in turn means difficult to fix: that does not make it any less of an issue or mean it's any less severe; if anything it means it needs more attention, not less). Actually that's exactly what it is, and it is done a lot, which is what frustrates me (and part of the reason why Ubuntu is so buggy). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759714 Title: [nvidia] Xorg suddenly starts to consume 100% CPU, apparently triggered by Chrome Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I navigated to a website in Chrome (linledIn.com) and both Chrome and Xorg started consuming around 100% CPU each (one was actually significantly above 100% but I can't remember which one). Then I closed Chrome entirely (and I check there was no Chrome process left), but Xorg kept consuming around 100% CPU. No other process was. I closed all applications I had opened, but nothing stopped Xorg from consuming around 100% CPU while nobody was doing nothing. I had to kill Xorg. It might have been a complete coincidence that Xorg's crazy CPU usage started when I opened that website in Chrome, or it might actually have been caused by it, even by a bug in Chrome. But even if that is the case, if an application can cause Xorg to consume 100% CPU and then not stop even after the application has been closed, that is a bug in Xorg. Also, something quite similar happens to me very often: sometimes I open Google Maps in Chrome and (not every time, far from it), the same as described above happens, that is, both Chrome and Xorg start consuming a lot of CPU. However, in those cases, usually when I close Chrome, Xorg's CPU consumptions goes back to normal (and then I'm able to reopen Chrome and everything works normally). This was the first time that Xorg's abnormal CPU consumption persisted after closing Chrome which seemed to have triggered it. I'm not sure whether the two cases are actually caused by the same issue or not. I know I'm providing little information but this is all I have. Note that the issue is critical.
