Running `pam-auth-update` allows you to remove using ConsoleKit as a session manager. I then killed off console-kit-daemon and it has not restarted since (lots of remote cron tasks).
Use of ConsoleKit on a box that gets connected to at a minimum of once a minute over a 2 month period has lead to a process that slows down ssh login to take over 30 seconds, which in turn creates problems. This was on an EC2 ubuntu image with a minimal install. -- 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
