[Bug 1281061] Re: initctl eating cpu on mako #181

[Fabian Herb]

Happening right now for me. I have plugged in the phone to my computer
(not the wall outlet adapter) but the phone is not charging, probably
because the cpu takes the 500 mA alone. Among the top CPU users are
initctl, powerd and unity8. Here's the output of ps -efwww, hope that
helps.

Title:
  initctl eating cpu on mako #181

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu image #181 on mako my phone is hot. I checked top and found
  initctl eating 96% of the cpu..

  This may be related to bug 1281057 as my phone refuses to lock.

  Unfortunately I couldn't get the bug report done on the phone because
  the battery died (unsurprisingly) mid way through reporting it.
  Managed to get this output from top though.
