Why is Thunderbird pegging a core at 100%?
- by david6
I have experienced 2-3 unexplained lockup over last 10 days.
Today, I had a random lockup (no mouse, keyboard response, 100% CPU). But, when I finally switched (Ctrl-Alt-F1) to command line (it took several minutes) it told me that thunderbird-bin had locked a CPU.
I ran this to resolve:
pidof thunderbird-bin
sudo kill ####
However, after saving other work, I tried restarting Thunderbird. It went to 90%+ CPU, and within 20 seconds it locked again.
Once I have more detail I will raise a bug (on Ubuntu Forums).
Does anyone have any other suggestions, advice?
UPDATE
Thunderbird 13.0.1 is quite stable in safe mode. Still working to resolve ..
