[Touch-packages] [Bug 1173915] Re: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU
Just upgraded to 17.04 and this appears to be fixed i.e. I don't see the stupid 'initctl' running anymore! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173915 Title: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU Status in upstart : Confirmed Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Many programs are fairly slow to start on my computer, despite it being relatively new (core i5).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1173915] Re: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU
Any update on a fix to this problem? My work around is to kill the initctl if/when I restart; I haven't noticed any adverse effect on anything I do on a daily basis and it is running more than 2+ weeks with no sign of initctl going crazy. Since I very rarely reboot (only after any updates and such), it is not a big deal for me now but would be nice to get a fix to this problem. Not sure the following info helps but I am sure it will give some clue. I attached gdb and dumped the stack trace after a fresh reboot (i.e. when initctl is fine) as well as the same when it goes crazy to compare. Here are the two traces. stack trace normal (siting in poll() normally) == (gdb) where #0 0x7f00ff2ba0a0 in __poll_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84 #1 0x7f00ff5ae78f in ??
