Suddenly my Mint Xfce desktop was running slow. After a bit of sleuthing I discovered that console-kit-daemon was taking over a GB of RAM (the computer has two GB). The GUI task manager refused to kill it, as did top, but I was finally able to nuke it with sudo kill and the PID number. I did not reboot and the computer runs normally now without it.
According to what Google provides me console-kit-daemon is deprecated and no longer necessary. So why was it even running? And if it is needed, why does it need a GB of RAM? Should I be filing a bug report? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
