Purged laptop-mode-tools, rebooted, no change. network-manager is properly started at boot time, service can be stopped, but not started again afterwards: systemd now has a "(kManager)" child at near-100% CPU.
Found the culprit: I have a broken schroot configuration (talk about pending work and switching to other tasks...), where the chroot is under my home dir, which gets mounted in the chroot. Schroot does not detect the loop and recursively mounts all /home submounts, apparently until a 65535 mountpoint limit Thus I assume that systemd is attempting to mount something, and not dealing properly with the error ? ----- Mail original ----- > De: ydir...@free.fr > À: "Michael Biebl" <bi...@debian.org> > Cc: 859...@bugs.debian.org > Envoyé: Samedi 1 Avril 2017 10:49:08 > Objet: Re: [Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#859147: network-manager: restart > failure on upgrade > > Will test this soon. > > Oh, just noticed that the fan was indeed noisy... and top reports > this: > > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ > COMMAND > 6019 root 20 0 237608 96996 2368 R 100.0 1.2 0:30.49 > (kManager) > > I can't seem to find what a "kManager" process could be around here. > There > is but a common suffix with NetworkManager, but I admit I don't see > why it > would be truncated.
