i had the same problem, having console-kit-daemon usgin about 10% of CPU, and growing. I saw (thx to "lsof -c console-kit") that console-kit-daemon wrote very often (about every 0.2 sec!) to his logfile (/var/log/ConsoleKit/history) an apparent login/logout from user 1000 (which is myself!) while i did not logon/off:
1227922049.237 type=SEAT_SESSION_ADDED : seat-id='Seat1' session-id='Session3358' session-type='' session-x11-display='' session-x11-display-device='' session-display-device='/dev/???' session-remote-host-name='' session-is-local=TRUE session-unix-user=1000 session-creation-time='2008-11-29T01:27:29.171247Z' 1227922049.449 type=SEAT_SESSION_REMOVED : seat-id='Seat1' session-id='Session3358' session-type='' session-x11-display='' session-x11-display-device='' session-display-device='/dev/???' session-remote-host-name='' session-is-local=TRUE session-unix-user=1000 session-creation-time='2008-11-29T01:27:29.171247Z' [and so on...] i do not have any crontab for uid 1000. So i don't know what made such a stress on console-kit-daemon. -- console-kit-daemon using a lot of cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
