CPU utilization is always 0 (zero) in Ubuntu 15.10

This is the CPU utilization in a Fedora 23 RPM install:

And this is the same view in a Ubuntu 15.10 .deb install:

The CPU utilization didn't change from the 0% value at any times.

This is an issue with the psutil.cpu_percent() executing in a Ubuntu 15.10 VM, which is always returning zero.

It is peculiar because the same command in a Fedora 23 VM works fine. I've asked @alinefm to check in her Ubuntu15.10 host and it works there. The conclusion is that there is something funny going on with this package and my specific VM.

This is worth investigating (it should work!) but it is not a priority. I'll 'demote' it to Backlog

I'll close the bug because I've just saw the CPU utilization going up and down in the same Ubuntu VM I've seeing it steady at 0%. I think a package update solved the issue:

The screenshot is showing 0% (the irony!) but we can see by the chart that the CPU % was changing as expected.
