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
