Client: High CPU usage Linux 5.0

Created on 8 Apr 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: keybase/client

I'd get high CPU usage, up to 100% on 1 core at a time (with the core switching every 1-2 seconds). It rendered the system unusable and a few minutes ago made everything unresponsive so I had to hard reboot.

Just to confirm this was keybase, I turned off all applications and killed any processes that wasnt needed by the OS, the problem still occurred.

Both kbfsfuse and keybase processes had high CPU usage.

@armujahid I was starting to suspect keybase was mining stellar coins on my computer...lol

But it seems to be an issue with their kbfsfuse process...Not sure about the details though.
I think updating to the latest version, and once everything is properly synchronized the issue disappears. But it shouldn't take 100% CPU when syncing..

There's also a memory issue...
Dormant, kbfsfuse uses 420mb of RAM (out of 16gb)
Plus the keybase default processes:
image

(What are they all? And why is one lowercase?)

I am also facing similar issue where keybase starts taking more than 30% cpu usage on linux
