[opensuse] CPU Pegging out at 99%
Something is pegging my CPU at 99%. Top shows dbus-daemon. When this happens no other programs will launch. Existing running programs are very sluggish. How can I determine what is causing this? It occurs every few days. Running 11.4 KDE on a clean install. Switching to runelvel 3 does not cure the issue, only a reboot. This does not make sense to me.

by "clean install" do you mean you have not added the update repo and performed an update? sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, I mean that I installed originally to a new partition, not an upgrade of an earlier version of openSuse. I have done all suggested security updates. I am running an onboard nvidia 6200 chip with default neuveau driver.

Top shows dbus-daemon using 90+ % CPU. I don't know what is causing that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

running 'dbus-monitor' should give you a clue what is using dbus so much Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Great! Working with this now. Will revert when I find out more. Thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK, after a reboot, and before the dbus-daemon is taking excessive cpu cycles (i.e. not load on the machine at present) running dbus-monitor gives the following. I don't know how to interpret this. signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.89 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired string ":1.89" method call sender=:1.89 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=3 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='method_call'" method call sender=:1.89 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=4 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='method_return'" method call sender=:1.89 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=5 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='error'" Perhaps something here eventually takes off in some loop? Or something else does? Thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

On a different machine I just had the same issue. That one is a quad core i5. dbus-daemon was using 100% cpu cycles on one of the cores. But no un-running programs would start, i.e. Thunderbird, or even a konsole window. I closed those windows that were running and dbus-daemon stopped immediately after I closed a Dolphin window (opened to Home). Now it gets a little more interesting. A short while after that, say about 30 seconds or so, dbus-daemon started taking up 100% cpu on a different core. Still no programs would open, so I switched to console 1 (ctl-alt-F1) and ran dbus-monitor. That reported that dbus-daemon did not start correctly giving an error X11 dbus-daemon failed to load. But top showed it utilizing 100% cpu. (BTW this machine is also running openSuse 11.4 with KDE). Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.
