[Bug 1273258] Re: Hundreds of dbus-daemon processes
Pavel, OMJ, maybe execsnoop-bpfcc from bpfcc-tools can help spot what program is starting your dbus-daemons?

Happens on 20.04.

[Bug 1273258] Re: Hundreds of dbus-daemon processes
I see the same thing on my work machine, an Ubuntu 18.04 and dbus version 1.12.2-1ubuntu1.2. In my case the processes all look like: /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --syslog-only --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session If I don't kill the processes an booting the laptop in the morning, by noon I'll have ~4000 processes running. I regularly kill all dbus-daemons running which have the command line above, and I see no side effects. I cannot find out which process spawns them, since their PPIDs are all 1, but were probably just adopted by init. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273258 Title: Hundreds of dbus-daemon processes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1273258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same bug: a number of /usr/bin/dbus-deamon processes which spawn from "/sbin/init splash". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273258 Title: Hundreds of dbus-daemon processes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1273258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Scott,
I do also work for Salesforce.
It would be an interesting indication if this symptom was *only*
experienced at Salesforce.
It would tell about interactions with specific tools we use.
What could it be?
- puppet
- avahi
...
In fact below is the list of binaries having a pid on my box now.
Now, when I killed my running dbus-daemon processes last time, I got a
crash of compiz:
/usr/bin/compiz
SIGSEGV in_IceTransClose
DistroCodeName: precise
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969078
with a popup:
Apport
'precise' is no longer under development
Maybe this is an indication?
Thanks
Marc

Title:
Hundreds of dbus-daemon processes
Status in dbus package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I find a growing number of root owned dbus-daemon processes.
Eventually, this results in a 'too many processes' error preventing
something to fork, e.g. a login.
They get created by batches of 4, every 30 minutes on my box.
My box is a puppet client, so that these 30 minutes are not in a local cron
tab.
The pids are 11 units apart (when the box is otherwise idle).
The command line is:
//bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
~# ps -fu root | grep dbus-daemon | grep -v grep | tail -8
root 17509 1 0 11:25 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
root 17520 1 0 11:25 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
root 17531 1 0 11:25 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
root 17542 1 0 11:25 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
root 17972 1 0 11:55 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
root 17983 1 0 11:55 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
root 17994 1 0 11:55 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
root 18005 1 0 11:55 ?00:00:00 //bin/dbus-daemon --fork
--print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
I reported this first to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74114
and was told to report it to ubuntu instead.
Here were some additional comments:
The symptoms you described probably mean that something running as
root is either running /usr/bin/dbus-launch, or attempting to access a
D-Bus session via the autolaunch: transport while under a transient
X11 session, 4 times every 30 minutes.
If this machine does not intentionally run an X11 GUI or a D-Bus
session, uninstalling the dbus-x11 package or making /usr/bin/dbus-
launch non-executable might work around this. Don't do that if you use
an X11 GUI environment, though.
Since 1.4.8, dbus autolaunch has only been effective when DISPLAY is
set and non-empty, so if this is autolaunch, an X11 session must be
involved somehow.
