Public bug reported:
Just hit this, haven't yet dug into details or tried to reproduce it.
I booted up a nearly up-to-date Yakkety desktop, noticed my fans were
running like crazy, and looking at top shows `fwupd` is the culprit (see
attached screenshot).
I don't know much about fwupd, but I'm guessing it's probably run
through systemd services. Interestingly, `systemctl status` show
"inactive (dead)" for the two service files installed by `fwupd`:
fwupd.service
fwupd-offline-update.service
I also checked `fwupdate-cleanup.service` from the `fwupdate` package,
and it likewise shows "inactive (dead)". So I'm not exactly sure how
this fwupd process was started, why it's still running.
Thanks!
