[Xperia X] [2.1.4] systemd taking up two full CPUs [answered]
asked 2018-04-26 16:27:49 +0300
In the latest weeks, on the Xperia X, it's happening that systemd starts using high percentages of two CPUs. One of the offending tasks has PID 1. The only solution I found so far is to reboot the phone. The phenomenon might be related to the use of certain Android apps; in particular, the game Hay Day appears to trigger it. I still have to investigate more about this.
EDIT: The issue is due to a leftover from OSM Scout Server. See answer for the solution.
What do the logs say ( journalctl -f as root) is there some service contantly being restarted? You would see that in logs then. This would eat much cpu, had same Problem on my Xperia after i deinstalled WifiKill3r and the service was still enabled.
jayki ( 2018-04-26 17:58:57 +0300 )@jayki Good point. systemd is continuously trying to spawn osmscout-server.service, which I have removed. I wonder who is trying that and why.
Giacomo Di Giacomo ( 2018-04-26 18:17:18 +0300 )Okay, a workaround is reinstalling OSM Scout Server, which I would rather not do because of the tiny system partition. Any ideas about who might be trying to launch OSM Scout Server, or where might I check for some leftovers from past installations?
Giacomo Di Giacomo ( 2018-04-26 18:32:49 +0300 )It sounds like there is something broken in the uninstallation process, worth reporting here: https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-server/issues
