Public bug reported: Running Precise with all of today's updates I'm observing that the desktopcouch-service is polling at about 9.9Hz, running strace on the process shows:
poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}], 4, 101) = 0 (Timeout) ..multiple times. This 101ms poll is timing out, so we are effectively in a 9.9Hz busy loop. This is consuming power and will reduce battery life on laptops. ** Affects: ubuntu-power-consumption Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: desktopcouch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: battery-power-consumption ** Also affects: ubuntu-power-consumption Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917156 Title: desktopcouch-service is polling at ~9.9Hz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/917156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
