[Bug 1630711] [NEW] fwupd using 200% CPU, but status of systemd services is "inactive (dead)"

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

Public bug reported:

Just hit this, haven't yet dug into details or tried to reproduce it.

I booted up a nearly up-to-date Yakkety desktop, noticed my fans were
running like crazy, and looking at top shows `fwupd` is the culprit (see
attached screenshot).

I don't know much about fwupd, but I'm guessing it's probably run
through systemd services. Interestingly, `systemctl status` show
"inactive (dead)" for the two service files installed by `fwupd`:

fwupd.service
fwupd-offline-update.service

I also checked `fwupdate-cleanup.service` from the `fwupdate` package,
and it likewise shows "inactive (dead)". So I'm not exactly sure how
this fwupd process was started, why it's still running.

Thanks!
