Okay, clearly I don't have permission to edit the status since it isn't my bug. Could someone update this to a status that isn't hidden? I'm unlinking my bug from this one until this changes (since duplicates are hidden on search too), but will point to it in the comments. Hopefully this will help get the issue some attention.
A couple of other thoughts: I run a Windows installation in VirtualBox. Does anyone else? Because of VirtualBox and because Firefox and Thunderbird are hogs, I frequently run very high memory usage. For example, right now I'm at 90% of 8GB. The swap usage stays low, though. After a restart, the numbers are lower, but creep back up with time. I'm not sure it's connected, but I don't think I've ever seen the dbus problems when the memory usage hasn't already climbed above 90% of system memory first. Anyone else notice this? One of the first symptoms of impending doom (even before dbus locks up) seems to be the auto-update notification for KPackageKit disappearing from the system tray. Is this related, a separate bug, or just coincidence? I have also tried to dbus-monitor, (see Mitch Oliver's comments here and in #737170) but I don't really know what to look for. Before problems, dbus-monitor happily spits out its messages, but once the problem starts no more messages are posted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680444 Title: dbus-daemon eats 100% cpu and is not responsive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/680444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
