Ubuntu – Ubuntu 16.04 /usr/bin/gnome-software –gapplication-service 100% CPU consumption

cpu loadgnome-software

From time to time process /usr/bin/gnome-software --gapplication-service starts consuming 100% of one of my cores. It is fixed if I reboot, or kill it with kill.

Is there a way to understand why this is happening? I want to create bug report. I could not find anything related in /var/log/.

I think you need to look into the file /var/log/kern.log its about the internals.

I have had one VM log some errors there, I snapshotted my VM and redeployed it the errors never happened again.

You may have a faulty core or overheating CPU, just my best guess.
