I'm running oneiric - ubuntu 11.10. dbus-monitor is slient. I'm pretty sure for me it's something to do with thunderbird since it started happening on cue if open/close/delete an email. Running strace -p on thunderbird, I see
stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3543, ...}) = 0 about 45000 times and then an increasing number of sendmsg calls that all look similar to sendmsg(38, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\4\1\1\24\1\0\0002\304\23\0x\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/a11"..., 136}, {"\5\0\0\0:1.48\0\0\0!\0\0\0/org/a11y/atspi/"..., 276}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 412 That goes on until line 356014 and then some polls, reads, a ton of madvise(0x7fa56ccbc000, 4096, MADV_DONTNEED) = 0 and I had killed strace at that point while thunderbird and dbus were still going nuts. Perhaps this should be filed with thunderbird. -- 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
