Hi, I (very) recently installed the "deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.0 _Sid_ - Unofficial powerpc NETINST 20180516-18:14]/ sid main" iso on my PowerPC G5 2,2. Everything went pretty smoothly (except it could not find the Sid repository (but that's another story). So, I updated the install using "deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main". OK that is the background - virtually all of it, a clean story.
Now, when I run htop, this is what I see: 1 [ 0.0%] Tasks: 24, 4 thr; 1 running 2 [|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||99.2%] Load average: 1.00 1.01 1.00 Mem[|||||||||||||||||||||| 204M/7.83G] Uptime: 01:39:47 Swp[ 0K/7.64G] PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 19265 tg 20 0 10432 5248 3520 R 1.5 0.1 0:00.14 htop 19256 tg 20 0 19584 9408 3456 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.06 sshd: tg@pts/0 1 root 20 0 41216 15296 8896 S 0.0 0.2 0:18.05 /lib/systemd/systemd --system --deserialize 27 245 root 20 0 23808 3648 2112 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 /sbin/lvmetad -f 462 root 20 0 5696 3328 2304 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty6 linux 463 root 20 0 5696 3328 2304 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty5 linux 464 root 20 0 5696 3328 2304 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty4 linux 465 root 20 0 5696 3328 2304 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty3 linux 466 root 20 0 5696 3328 2304 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty2 linux 507 root 20 0 10176 2048 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 /sbin/dhclient -4 -v -pf /run/dhclient.enP1p4s15f0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.enP1p4s15f0.leases -I -df /var/lib/ 4998 root 20 0 28864 12864 7552 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.17 /lib/systemd/systemd-journald 5005 systemd-t 20 0 29312 9344 4672 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd 5003 systemd-t 20 0 29312 9344 4672 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.11 /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd 5674 root 20 0 10112 4416 2816 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/cron -f 5737 root 20 0 29120 5952 3392 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n -iNONE 5738 root 20 0 29120 5952 3392 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n -iNONE 5739 root 20 0 29120 5952 3392 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n -iNONE The problem is - CPU #2 is maxed-out, doing systemd something - something to do with /lib/systemd/systemd --system --deserialize 27. I do not think this is right. It is using half of my CPU resources, doing nothing as far as I can tell. Is there a fix for this? Can I possibly install nosystemd and go back to when things were good?
