My PC has been crashing a lot of times recently, it suddenly stops responding and after a few seconds, it asks me to force quit some apps. At first, I thought it was a problem with VSCode since it always happens when I'm editing something on it, but it recently has happened with other apps like Spotify or my browser.
When I used the top command, I noticed there is this Java process that is consuming more than half of my RAM and I think this could be the reason for the crashes I've been experiencing. The thing is, that I don't know how to get rid of it.
I tried killing the process with the kill command hundreds of times, but it keeps appearing there whenever I use the top command. I tried these commands and also manually removed anything related to jdk, openjdk, etc. using the apt-get remove command.
I restarted the computer, and the process is still there. I don't know what else I can do.
pstree says the full command path is /usr/share/elasticsearch/jdk/bin/java, but the elasticsearch folder doesn't even exist in there. I looked with the apt list --installed and did not find any elasticsearch in there. The pstree command only shows this:
ps auxto see the entire command (you also can puscin top for that), then you will see the path for tha java app too. But if it starts again and again something starting it, check out withpstreewhat is its parent process. – redseven Feb 17 '23 at 08:22apt list --installedand did not find any elasticsearch in there.
