I wrote this Monit entry to try to bring console-kit-daemon under control, but it hasn't seemed to be effective, as the console-kit-daemon CPU use seems to fluctuate as it ramps up to seize all CPU. As this happens, I lose interactive control of my X session, even though running on a dual-CPU system.
check process console-kit-daemon with pidfile /var/run/console-kit-daemon.pid start program = "/usr/bin/ck-launch-session" stop program = "killall -9 console-kit-daemon" if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout if cpu usage > 3% for 5 cycles then alert I agree - the urgency of this is no less than HIGH, and needs quick attention. -- 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
