This has started for me too recently on Unbunt 10.10 - dbus-daemon using currently 44% CPU, and system monitor using 46%. It is July 26th 2011 and it appears to have started in the last week. Hmmm, the only thing different is that I've been booting with a music CD in tray.
Yep, taking the CD out of tray solved it! Putting the CD back in the tray did not spike CPU usage - but it happens when booting with a CD present. -- 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
