2010-05-05 14:43:01 James Westby summary High CPU usage in policykit-1 Fast respawning when module-alsa-sink can't be loaded
2010-05-05 14:43:11 James Westby description Binary package hint: policykit-1 Upon upgrading to the new build of Lucid, a problem I thought I had fixed with policykit has reappeared. i am getting high CPU usage and a memory leak from the process polkitd, run under policykit-1. Upon boot and logging into a fresh account, I get no problems, but once I log into my main account, the problem appears. Logging out and back into the fresh account carries the problem over to the fresh account as well. I noticed that there were three carry-over processes from the main account: indicator-sound, pulseaudio, and the root process polkitd. I thought I had fixed this through removing respawnable hidden directories in my home folder, but that hasn't worked this time. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: policykit-1 0.96-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Apr 26 00:17:42 2010 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd ProcEnviron: SourcePackage: policykit-1 Ah, got it. Pulseaudio won't start (under my user's account) because of: E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=plughw:0 rate=44100"): initialization failed. E: main.c: Module load failed. E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. And that module was specified in ~/.pulse/default.pa, which is a leftover from the time when pulseaudio wasn't working and I was trying to do something about it. So I deleted ~/.pulse/default.pa, stopped pulseaudio that was started by hand and polkitd is still behaving perfectly fine. Even the music is playing, although I have no pulseaudio running. :-) Then I killed polkitd and it wasn't restarted. So I started pulseudio by hand (from my user's account) and then polkitd appeared. It's peacefully sleeping in poll() and isn't leaking memory. -- Original report: Binary package hint: policykit-1 Upon upgrading to the new build of Lucid, a problem I thought I had fixed with policykit has reappeared. i am getting high CPU usage and a memory leak from the process polkitd, run under policykit-1.
