My Ubuntu since recently started to consume 5-6% of CPU while idle (I wouldn't have noticed if it didn't cause cooler to spin :/ ). Looking into the System Monitor -- it's
gnome-shell
. I've tried disabling all extensions (and of course rebooting) but it didn't help.
So I've tried journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell
-- and the log is full of the following line repeated **thosands of times per second**: gnome-shell: (../clutter/clutter/clutter-frame-clock.c:1143):clutter_frame_clock_dispatch: code should not be reached.
It seems it takes 5-6% of CPU to solely log this.
At this point I'm lost as there's only a single reference to this error in the Internet.
AFAIU the code in question is https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/blob/main/clutter/clutter/clutter-frame-clock.c but I'm not in position to debug it.
I won't ask if anyove has experienced it (but would appreaciate a solution of course :) ) -- but how to address it in general? File a bug? To where? Mutter or Gnome? Or Ubuntu? :/
My Mutter libraries versions:
$ sudo apt list | grep mutter
