Public bug reported: Ubuntu version : 13.04
Architecture : x86_64 dbus: Installed: 1.6.8-1ubuntu6 Candidate: 1.6.8-1ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1.6.8-1ubuntu6 0 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Frequent problems with dbus-daemon entering a runaway state, consuming 100% of one core for extended durations. KDE applications fail to open or react in a timely manner while this is happening. Couldn't open firefox, terminal, system monitor, vlc, gedit , etc... Previously, I've been using 32 bit ubuntu with no problems (ever). This problem is there since I installed ubuntu 13.04. Reproducible: Yes Steps to Reproduce: Seems linked to login duration, running KDE apps (or dbus enabled apps) include: Firefox, Network Manager. Actual Results: One core at sustained 97(+)% cpu. dbus-daemon highest process in "top" output. Killing dbus-daemon clears CPU utilization, but then all KDE and dbus applications(like firefox, nautilus, network manager applet) fail to run until restart. Expected Results: dbus-daemon should not runaway. ps -ef output for dbus-daemon process: 102 974 1 0 08:34 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon --system --fork jeeva 1866 1 31 08:34 ? 00:25:22 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session jeeva 1880 1876 0 08:34 ? 00:00:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/etc/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3 ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: raring ** Also affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176481 Title: dbus-daemon consumes 100% cpu after login in ubuntu 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1176481/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
