This looks like an upstream bug: console-kit starts a thread for each console that can theoretically exist. On Linux (/usr/include/linux/vt.h) MAX_NR_CONSOLE is defined to be 63. console- kit apparently wants to monitor each of the consoles to see if anyone ever logs in on these consoles or not.
On my Ubuntu system, I can only see VTs 1-7 enabled. I have only ever logged onto VT1 and VT7. All the remaining threads are useless and are wasting system resources. -- console-kit-deamon spawns too many threads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
