[Bug 1497750] [NEW] dbus-daemon uses huge amount of CPU

 

Public bug reported:

dbus-daemon is working all the time on ubuntu phone, using up to 100%
CPU. It seems that some services are emitting messages continuously,
particularly  Upstart and network indicator. The phone becomes unusable
and must be restarted to work

Disabling wifi reduces a lot the amount of messages

Phone : BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 (r25)
Uname: Linux ubuntu-phablet 3.4.67

extract from dbus--monitor --profile --session (lots of messages without
actually using the phone)
