[Bug 1312051] Re: Upstart init process consuming all ram
I have been getting this bug repeatedly on 16.04 LTS. After about say 2 hours of uptime everything is extremely slow and unresponsive, even just editing text files. I have to log into a different console with ctrl+alt+f1 to do anything. According to top, upstart is using about 100% CPU and around 40% memory. It's intermittent, only happens about every 4-5 reboots or so, but boy is it annoying. Any suggestions? Any logs I can post to help diagnose? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1312051 Title: Upstart init process consuming all ram To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1312051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Are there any new solutions? I have the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04. Every 10s the process init --user grows 0.1% of total storage.

SOLVED: I confirm Kostas solution.

Can you confirm that you are talking about PID 1? How are you checking the amount of memory init is using?

Sorry James, I checked and PID is not(!) 1. So it is a init --user.

Hi Leonardo - no problem. Can you check to ensure you have a ~/.cache/upstart/ directory (or $XDG_CACHE_HOME/upstart/ if you have manually set XDG_CACHE_HOME). Also, is the session init process consuming a lot of CPU (top -b -n1)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1312051 Title: Upstart init process consuming all ram To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1312051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
