Hi, I've just noticed this problem after 6 days of uptime in my Kubuntu Natty clean install.
As stated by others, dbus-daemon has too many open files. Running "sudo strace -p ..." repeats the following lines: accept4(3, 0xbfd773dc, [16], SOCK_CLOEXEC) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open files) fcntl64(-1, F_GETFD) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {521445, 511804231}) = 0 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN}, {fd=22, events=POLLIN}, {fd=23, events=POLLIN}, {fd=24, events=POLLIN}, {fd=19, events=POLLIN}, {fd=25, events=POLLIN}, {fd=26, events=POLLIN}, {fd=27, events=POLLIN}, {fd=28, events=POLLIN}, {fd=29, events=POLLIN}, {fd=30, events=POLLIN}, {fd=31, events=POLLIN}, {fd=32, events=POLLIN}, {fd=33, events=POLLIN}, {fd=36, events=POLLIN}, {fd=34, events=POLLIN}, {fd=37, events=POLLIN}, {fd=38, events=POLLIN}, {fd=35, events=POLLIN}, {fd=41, events=POLLIN}, ...], 1018, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}]) clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {521445, 514804054}) = 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779849 Title: dbus-daemon consumes 100% CPU -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
