Package: accountsservice Version: 0.6.37-3+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have used Debian Wheezy on my laptop for several years, and at some point of time I noticed freezes in lightdm's login screen. Further investigatio with htop showed, that the accounts-daemon uses almost 100% of CPU time on one of cores. Sending the KILL signal to the accounts-daemon instantly releases the freeze of lightdm, but login attempt in lightdm restarts the accounts-daemon, which starts to consume 100% of CPU time on one core again and after that I have another freeze in lihtdm. Killing the accounts-daemon the second time helps to successfully login. Also, the accounts-daemon may stop its strange behaviour by itself after some rather long period of time. There was a single time when I noticed that it was gradually allocating more and more memory, but this particular behaviour was not noticed ever again. For now I run this bash one-line script as a quick and dirty fix: # while : ; do pkill -KILL accounts-daemon ; sleep 3 ; done I have included a compressed strace log of the accounts-daemon process, captured while it was behaving strange. I understand, that Debian Wheezy is now on LTS, but I have not found any signs at bugs.freedesktop.org that something like that was ever reported and fixed. I will live everything on my laptop intact for some time to provide additional information if it is neded. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.11 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=uk_UA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages accountsservice depends on: ii dbus 1.8.22-0+deb8u1 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.37-3+b1 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u10 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1+b1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-15~deb8u3 accountsservice recommends no packages.
