I don't seem to have this issue on 18.04 either, so it seems to be
limited to 14.04.

For what it's worth, I don't seem to have had this issue after upgrading
to Ubuntu 16.04. I recently just upgraded to 18.04 so I'll continue to
keep an eye on things.

I have this issue on 17.10 and 18.04 but I'm not sure if it's related to
the original reporter's case because for me I suspect it's related to
amdgpu-pro. In earlier distributions the memory leak was elsewhere - I
can't remember if it was in xorg or plasmashell, though. I *think* it
also happened
I have Linux Mint 17.3 with Multi-Core System Monitor and the same issue with
polkitd process.
I have noticed that removing the Multi-Core applet from the panel and adding it
again, causes polkitd to increase the cpu usage. It started with 4%, after one
restart to 8%, then another restart to
I'm experiencing the same problem.
Memory consumption of polkitd process is still increasing without Multi-Core
System Monitor.
With Multi-Core System Monitor, it increases much faster. I think it must be a
memory leak of polkitd.

This happened to me, too. I installed Multi-Core System Monitor for just
a moment and noticed the steadily growing memory usage. Worse, removing
the applet did not stop the leak. The leak didn't stop until the next
system reboot (presumably restarting polkitd would have also worked, but
I didn't
Coicidentally, also I have (had) that applet installed...

@area-42 I've been in the exact same situation! I confirm that removing
'Multi-Core System Monitor' applet solved the issue.

Hi there!
I HAD the same problem on 8 different machines (a notebook, 3 nettops, a
netbook, and 3 desktops).
OS: 8x Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 32-bit, kernel 3.16.0-38-generic. Polkitd ate
up up to 1.7 GB RAM after a while.
My solution: deactivation of the applet 'Multi-Core System Monitor'
Hi,gays! It seems to work fine when I update the kernel to 4.2, it
consumes 5.7M RES Memory in an hour with 0 incrementation. Maybe you
should try! Good luck!

Use the script in #16, it's an ugly solution, but it works.

I looked into those dbus messages and didn't find anything helpful. My
system is fully up to date and I still have this issue.
Here's my current workaround:
sudo sh -c 'echo "#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/killall /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd" > /etc/cron.daily/kill-polkitd'
sudo chmod +x
New system, clean install. Linux Mint 17.2, 3.19-0-21 kernel. Same
problem, over 1G in less than 2 days. My older system will lock up
thrashing its swap space if I don't re-boot it every 3 days or so
(memory used 100% and swap 95-100% used).
Thanks, Jon.
?field.comment=New system, clean
Just to inform, in my machine polkitd is cosuming almost 3GB.
$ sudo psmem.py | grep polkitd
2.8 GiB + 190.0 KiB = 2.8 GiB polkitd

Just to keep this alive and to add a new data point, I upgraded to the
3.19.0-21 kernel and after 6 days polkitd has grown to 1.4+G memory
usage. I don't think the kernel version has anything to do with the
problem. On the plus side, my WIFI connection has stabilized since the
upgrade.
Thx,
Sorry, that was 1609 KiB/10min.

I also have a slowly growing polkitd.
After an uptime of 6d1h /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug has a
CPU time of 6:32:57 and memory usage of 1.3GiB (started around 7MiB at
boot).
After a reboot, reading smem every 10 minutes, it appears to be growing
1609MiB/10min. +-5MiB consistently.
New screenshots from my system after 5+ days. polkitd is at 1.2G +. I
have daily screenshots also if they are needed. I have Firefox and
Thunderbird running always. I do find my WIFI connection becomes less
stable as polkitd gets larger.

As I mentioned in my last comment, yesterday I logged into my computer
after it had been up for 3 days at the login screen. Upon logging in,
polkitd was using nearly 1 GB of memory:
$ uptime
09:09:38 up 3 days, 15:57, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.05, 0.05
$ ps aux | grep polkitd | grep -v grep
A couple more data points:
Last week, I rebooted my machine and logged in right away. polkitd was
only using 7 MB of memory:
$ ps aux | grep polkitd | grep -v grep
root 1219 0.1 0.0 281164 7244 ?Sl 16:36 0:00
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug
Two days later, polkitd
Also seeing the same problem. Takes about 4 days until the system is
unresponsive.
