Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Periodically, I see bursts of process creation and cancellations from hal-acl-tool. E.g.

Apparently, hal-acl-tool creates a sequence of processes to run polkit-
processes that last few milliseconds. This occurs periodically, slowing down applications.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't start working on it yet, because your bug report didn't include enough information.
The many lines that mention /usr/lib/ policykit/ polkit- read-auth- helper are related to the policykit package. Marking assignment to network-manager as incomplete. Assigning bug to policykit.
Please include the information requested at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingNe tworkManager. If you have trouble, please do not hesitate to ask for more assistance. Thanks in advance.
