I have the same problem... ps reports.... root 1093 64.7 4.2 78016 75796 ? R 2013 23219:55 initctl emit plymouth-ready
After doing sudo cat /proc/$(pidof initctl)/stack > /tmp/initctl.stack, I get... garth@hat:~$ cat /tmp/initctl.stack [<c1637936>] work_resched+0x5/0x20 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff garth@hat:~$ I was logged in via remote ssh so the kill -ABRT didn't allow me to submit another bug... Fully up-to-date Ubuntu 13.10. Problem may have started during a recent apt-get upgrade, Im' not sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255610 Title: 100% CPU usage with "initctl emit plymouth-ready" process To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1255610/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
