So now running at about 33% CPU. It was a broken update PPA. Really! Exactly how many times a second are the PPAs being checked for updates?! It's a broken PPA, surely the package manager can handle a broken PPA better than 100% CPU usage. And exactly what is it doing that requires 20% CPU usage when it's idle?!
Is there an admin program for this? I think it only needs to update a couple of times a day. The only admin I've found offers very few options as to the frequency of update checking and none of them seem to work. It slows down boot, even though this should be disabled and it's consuming far too much CPU given that it's showing as auto checks disabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860985 Title: packagekitd using 100% CPU Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: That's all I can report at this stage.
