** Description changed: + === PROBLEM === + On a multiuser system with many desktop users, the system dbus-daemon process can easily exceed the 1024 open files allowed by the default ulimit. When it exceeds that, it goes into a tight loop, sucking up 100% processor, and nobody can log in. + +

Hrrm. In my case that seems to be the session bus not the system bus, so it might not be related (it looks like its leaking fd's somewhere because during normal usage it just has 110fds open), new bug or similar enough? -- dbus needs more than the default 1024 open files https://bugs.launchpad.ne

What I can do, when my work load permits, is bring up 60+ vncserver sessions on a test server. Or, really, I supposed anyone else who cares could do it if they get to it first. I suspect that this is going to be quite reproduceable. It's not some hard to reproduce problem that only the bug reporter

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I've already done all I can reasonably do without doing a disservice to my customer. And if Canonical does not understand that, then perhaps Ubuntu doesn't belong in the enterprise. All things considered, RHEL support subscriptions cost a lot less than this experi

As an admin, the worst part of this issue was the fact that things would randomly stop working and lock up. Logins would inexplicably fail.
