Re: systemd process(es) consuming CPU when laptop lid closed



Here's my message I tried sending on 16 October 2017 18:13 UTC, now 17 October 2017 19:40 UTC and I haven't seen it posted yet... I noticed the response from Don Armstrong saying it may need to be whitelisted. Hope this one goes through! Sorry I'm causing so much overhead here folks.

My emails to this list are delayed by about 24 hours (am I the only one?) but I think I may have solved my issue with systemd-logind, thanks to the helpful command posted earlier by Mr. Biebl.

After running the command, I saw a message that grabbed my attention; "suspend.target is masked". Jumping back on to the search engines, I come across this <http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=129356> topic almost immediately (somehow my searching before completely missed it?). In the topic, the user was experiencing nearly the exact same issue. They checked /etc/systemd/login.conf and set the following options:

HandlePowerKey=poweroff
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
IdleAction=ignore
IdleActionSec=30min

Going to the /etc/systemd folder however, I see that there is no login.conf file - only a login.conf.bak file, which I must have been editing before since a couple of the lines were already commented out. I mv'ed the file back to login.conf, made sure the above lines were enabled, and rebooted the machine. No more excessive CPU usage!

I think this raises a few questions;

- Why was this absurd CPU usage occurring in the first place,
- In the comments at the top of the file, it seems implied that the file should be regenerated if it does not exist. Then why wasn't the file being regenerated since I had moved it? What was logind using as configuration instead?

Does anyone think this deserves a bug report or am I misunderstanding something here?

Glen
