UID 29999 is the "user" under which all the applications (and some other processes) in the device are run under. D-BUS seems to be keeping could of connections per user which in Maemo doesn't make sense, as almost everything is run as "user" user and almost everything uses D-BUS. > Any hints? Seems like something does a lot of D-BUS connections. According to the file descriptor usage, there are not that many connections open at that moment, so maybe D-BUS counts all connections, not just active ones in which case e.g. opening and closing D-BUS connection each time one sends a message would be really bad also for rest of the applications & system, not just for the performance of that particular process... As this problem seems to be Canola related and can happen also after Canola is uninstalled and device rebooted, does Canola muck up with D-BUS configuration?
I'll check with DBus guys/code what it does. But canola uses a single dbus connection, we use dbus-glib and they say the connection is shared. Same for canola-conf. This bug shows when I have "speed contacts" on or when I have some high traffic mail account, like my gmail/pop3. This with a fresh install/no canola. :-( -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri -------------------------------------- Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 17249123 Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (81) 9927 0010 Phone: +1 (347) 624 6296; [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 0xB640E1A2 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
