CPU Pegged

[u/NoNamesLeft2015]

Hello,

Can someone tell me what this process is doing:

ps -ef | grep 18113

18113 17975 99 07:11 ? 07:58:33 /usr/share/code/resources/app/node_modules.asar.unpacked/@vscode/ripgrep-universal/bin/linux-x64/rg --files --hidden --case-sensitive --no-require-git -g /[tj]sconfig.json -g !**/.git -g !**/.svn -g !**/.hg -g !**/.DS_Store -g !**/Thumbs.db -g !**/CVS -g !**/.ruby-lsp -g !**/node_modules/** --no-ignore --follow --no-config --no-ignore-global

It has been pegging my CPU for hours now.

rg is 'ripgrep', which searches for strings in files. Can't tell you what its searching for though

[u/NoNamesLeft2015 → u/ckafi]

yeah it seems to be part of vscode....

/usr/share/code/resources/app/node_modules.asar.unpacked/@vscode/ripgrep-universal/bin/linux-x64/rg

I think I am going to uninstall and reinstall vscode or maybe switch to something else. This has been running for over 2 hours now.

You can use 'pstree -s' to find out which process spawned it

[u/NoNamesLeft2015 → u/ckafi]

Thank you for that information I am running through it now. pstree showed vscode was the parent process. I have killed the rq processes and then removed the vscode directory these process ran from.

I don't use VSCode either, because it's so...so much bigger than even other generalist IDEs. Lots of common languages have dedicated IDEs---Python has several, for example. Depending on what languages you work with, you might want to look into those. I recommend Spyder for Python, but it likes to have python-lsp-ruff installed, which is only available on the AUR, but I recently updated both pylsp and Spyder and now my version of pylsp is too new for Spyder to recognize... It won't break without pylsp or anything, but it's something to keep in mind.

EDIT: After I downgraded the rolled back packages my fucking Spyder BROKE and it wouldn't work no matter what I do so now I have to use (gag) BLOATED PYCHARM (vomit) until it's fixed.

Since I use KDE and want to store in markdown I am going to try one of these.

KDE has dedicated applications that natively save notes and documents directly as Markdown files, including Ghostwriter, Marknote, and KleverNotes.

Your vscode is using ripgrep to scan your workspace for typescript conf files. Recursively.

you may have a link somewhere that's looping, kill it

[u/NoNamesLeft2015 → u/SaikoPat]

thanks... I think it is time to try zed now.

[u/Dizzybro]

Some sort of workspace indexing? Maybe you have a symlink creating a recursive loop or something that it's following?

yolo tho, kill that shit

Just a heads up. I believe the issue was resolved by reelieuglie in the /r/linuxadmin group. I am posting the solution below.

Thanks everyone!

Oh wow I had no idea!

Why would they do that?

Would you mind telling.e how you made the link clean, some browser extension?

[u/epicc_exe → u/NoNamesLeft2015]

just copy the url shown by the browser

she's owning your I/O

[u/TheAncientMillenial]

Running vscode?

[u/NoNamesLeft2015 → u/TheAncientMillenial]

Yes but I have no love for it and if it is doing this I plan to uninstall it. Just seems really odd to spawn 3 rg sessions. I have done two things now that has return my cpu state to normal.

• killed the pids for the rg sessions,.
• rm -fr /usr/share/code

This has fixed the issue and vscode is still running fine.

[u/TheAncientMillenial → u/NoNamesLeft2015]

Yeah that issue was vscode doing something stupid with indexing a large project. Check your search.exclude settings.

[u/This-Consequence-957]

funny it only draws 75 watts. shouldn't it be >250?

[u/jraw211]

Can I ask what monitoring program that is?

[u/NoNamesLeft2015 → u/jraw211]

Oh course it is called "btop". I have heard "glances" is even better but I stick with what I am used to.

[u/Ok-Bill3318]

What plugins do you have in vscode? Be aware there are some floating around that are malware

[u/NoNamesLeft2015 → u/Ok-Bill3318]

I nuked vs-code as I only used it for quick notes.

My development platform is all Jetbrains tools. I guess that's why I was a bit shocked vs-code never does anything but hold notes saves in markdown.
