Public bug reported: ThinkPad 25, UEFI mode, Ubuntu 18.04 installed as a _live_ distro in FAT32 partition on SATA SSD in WWAN slot.
Grub options allow booting without persistence or with a 256MB persistence file. Only thing "persisted" is TERM in favorites. Without persistence all is well. With persistence snapd uses up to 90% CPU - perhaps more - and cripples the system. Fan runs nearly full speed constantly. I can eliminate the problem by removing snapd - and that persists. Can't kill snapd. PID is constantly changing. 0% fan and low CPU use at idle w/out snapd with persistence, or booted w/out persistence. ** Affects: snapd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767896 Title: Live 18.04 with persistence snapd high CPU usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1767896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
