Specifically, the load seems to only matter for dbus (which makes sense, it would delay IPC). So this mostly comes up when we see bug 1480877.
The following line reproduces this bug fairly easily if you press the power button a few times after running it: sudo cpulimit -l 1 -c 1 -p `pidof dbus-daemon` I have a proposed fix, but want broader comment on whether it's crack or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508563 Title: Shutdown dialog appears on resume under high load Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is very similar to old friends bug 1383277 and bug 1410830. But we never fully vanquished the beast. The dialog still appears on resume in some situations where the system is very loaded. I suspect what is happening is that we process the power-button- release event so much later than the -press event because of the load. And think that the user has been holding it down this whole time. But instead, we should compare event timestamps to determine that. (Which I'm assuming we aren't doing because this bug exists.)
