It seems I hit an evolved version of this bug. My phone is right now unusable, dbus-daemon taking 99% of the cpu, and dbus-monitor shows about 30 signals like this:
signal sender=:1.0 -> dest=(null destination) serial=78512 path=/com/ubuntu/Upstart; interface=com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6; member=EventEmitted string "dbus" array [ string "SIGNAL=PropertiesChanged" string "BUS=system" string "INTERFACE=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.AccessPoint" string "OBJPATH=/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/AccessPoint/2281" string "SENDER=:1.8" ] Every 2-3 seconds I get a new burst of 30-ish signals. The phone is so slowed down it takes about 15-20 seconds (and some patience) to be able to just swipe away the lockscreen. I'll try not to reboot the device right now so that we can keep debugging it and hopefully get rid of this beast :) so if there's anyone in the audience who'd like me to get some more useful logs, please shout! :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480877 Title: Access points' "PropertiesChanged" dbus signals freeze UI on mobile devices Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Krillin, rc-proposed, r83 DESCRIPTION: I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor Here's a log of what's shown in dbus-monitor: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11992322/ I'd guess the problem is in the code that actually catches the signals and acts accordingly. HOW TO REPRODUCE: 1) Move to a place where many wifi hotspots are available 2) Connect the device via USB and run "phablet-shell" and then "dbus-monitor" 3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1480877/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
