@Arul: I'm still seeing it happen on 16.04.

Realised that this was happening on a few 16.04 LTS machines I manage.

@Arul, I found something similar in my comment above, at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1173915/comments/5. But it's been almost 4 years since this issue was reported, and over 2 years since I added my comment, and it's clearly not fixed yet, or even prioritised. In fact, my general experience reporting Ubuntu issues here on launchpad is that this is a black hole, issues are left hanging until they are closed as irrelevant several years later. Critical issues undoubtedly get more attention, but issues such as this are still a problem. Annoying, so I don't really see the point in reporting issues here any more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173915 Title: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1173915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1173915] Re: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU
Any update on a fix to this problem? My work around is to kill the initctl if/when I restart; I haven't noticed any adverse effect on anything I do on a daily basis and it is running more than 2+ weeks with no sign of initctl going crazy. Since I very rarely reboot (only after any updates and such), it is not a big deal for me now but would be nice to get a fix to this problem. Not sure the following info helps but I am sure it will give some clue. I attached gdb and dumped the stack trace after a fresh reboot (i.e. when initctl is fine) as well as the same when it goes crazy to compare.

[Bug 1173915] Re: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU
Happens on Ubuntu 16.10 (fresh install, Compiz fallback session) after a few
hours of uptime.
htop reports 100% usage of one CPU for the command
/sbin/initctl emit indicator-services-start
which goes on indefinitely. Tracing (with only this initctl process
around) yields similar to #5
$ sudo strace -p `pidof initctl`
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1)= 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}])
[endless repeat]
/var/log/upstart is empty and dmesg/kern.log/syslog don't help.
The random battery drain is annoying (especially during presentations),
and apt purging upstart depends on a little too much for comfort.
Suggestions?

Closing as invalid since the problem is not reproducible. The applications still are pretty slow to start: running libreoffice from a terminal results in more than 1 minute startup, with a freeze of my screen in the meantime (successive startup are fairly instantaneous though). Same for other applications: gnome-sudoku takes 5 seconds for the first startup, less than 1 for any following startup). I know this is not the place to report it, but how can I report this issue, as I don't know which package is involved? That doesn't sound like a package issue to me; it sounds like you just have a slow disk which it takes a long time to load data from. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173915 Title: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1173915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1173915] Re: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU
After killing (kill -9, as kill-15 didn't have any effect) initctl, and rebooting the computer, initctl no longer shows up in the top command. Therefore, I cannot reproduce the issue on the same computer. Sorry for the noise! The applications still are pretty slow to start: running libreoffice from a terminal results in more than 1 minute startup, with a freeze of my screen in the meantime (successive startup are fairly instantaneous though). Same for other applications: gnome-sudoku takes 5 seconds for the first startup, less than 1 for any following startup). I know this is not the place to report it, but how can I report this issue, as I don't know which package is involved?
