[Bug 1314358] Re: Strange processes

 

youngguns, as per http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4049#bios an update to your BIOS is available (F12). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

  A strace of one of these processes is not allowed, not even as root:
  root in ~
  $ strace -p 3969
  strace: attach: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...): Operation not permitted
  Could not attach to process.  If your uid matches the uid of the target
  process, check the setting of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope, or try
  again as the root user.  For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf
