All, I am having major issues with the dbus-daemon suddenly spiking to 100% cpu usage and hanging the server. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with all patches (as of two weeks ago). This happens randomly since the system will run without issues for a day or so and then the dbus-daemon (owned by messagebus) will spike. The only fix is to cycle the power on the server as the system is then completely non-responsive.
I've looked at the logs and haven't seen anything that would indicate why this is happening though I'm also not sure exactly what I should expect to see in the logs. Possible other symptoms are that cups will also become non-responsive and has to be restarted, and ssh via ssh -X doesn't return to a prompt when the application launched this was exits. I have two servers which are identical hardware and installed applications. Only one was misbehaving up until yesterday when the second system also showed this issue. However, I can verify that there have been no updates to either system in the last two weeks so I'm not sure why the issue would just appear for the second server that had been running flawlessly. I am 'at wits end' at this point as I have no idea how to correct the issue. When it happens, I have to reset the server which disconnects 40+ teachers from the system. Their frustration is quite high at this time, as is mine.
