I also had this or a similar problem. "polkitd" used lots of my resources. My "dbus-monitor --system" output looked the same, but syslog is a little bit different to Alex Peters. syslog showed this messages: Apr 10 00:29:38 localhost pulseaudio[4468]: module-device-restore.c: Failed to open volume database '/home/mikey/.pulse/14e15c3974578d407ec6bec04bbe12c0-device-volumes': Permission denied Apr 10 00:29:38 localhost pulseaudio[4468]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-device-restore" (argument: ""): initialization failed.

I suspect it was because i copied my home folder from another machine so that the symlink to the file in tmp wasn't set correctly (maybe also after an upgrade). After deleting my "~/.pulse/" directory the problem disappeared. I don't know if this is the exactly same problem, as the opener of the bug report has, but maybe it helps. -- policykit cause high dbus-daemon cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426556 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
