Version: 232-25+deb9u1
Severity: normal
File: systemd-logind
* What led up to the situation?
It had been a while since my system was booted and connected to the internet. I started it around the beginning of October and installed multiple package updates. After doing so and leaving my laptop/server alone for awhile, I noticed the CPU fan working unusually hard. Multiple processes are found consuming lots of CPU. But if I open the laptop lid, they stop. My laptop is <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>not<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> supposed to do anything when the lid is closed.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I discovered that I had renamed the logind.conf file to logind.conf.bak. If it's renamed back to logind.conf, the problem goes away.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
According to the comments in the conf file, a new one is supposed to be generated if it does not exist. This functionality does not appear to work.
Please see logind.conf-changes for a list of changes I've made to the default logind.conf file. As long as these changes are present, I don't experience the CPU consumption bug. pkgchanges.txt are a list of package changes I had done on my system since booting it in October and subsequently noticing the issue. topoutput.txt is a snapshot of top during this CPU consumption.
If I run the command dbus-monitor --system during this bug, it outputs a lot of information very quickly. Attached as dbus-monitor-system.txt is a short sample of this output.
