Hi there! I HAD the same problem on 8 different machines (a notebook, 3 nettops, a netbook, and 3 desktops). OS: 8x Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 32-bit, kernel 3.16.0-38-generic. Polkitd ate up up to 1.7 GB RAM after a while.
My solution: deactivation of the applet 'Multi-Core System Monitor' (http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/79); it was running on each machine. Reboot - all fine so far... I hope that helps. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470235 Title: PolicyKit high memory usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1470235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
