I see a lot of these in your journal:
Sep 22 10:03:40 f29h.local packagekitd[1104]: g_object_ref: assertion
'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
I see them in mine as well, no idea if they're related to the runaway
process. What I'm seeing is packagekit using about 9% CPU when it's
downloading metadata (refreshing repo and app info); and using a more
than 100% CPU when it's downloading files.
So I filed this:
g_object_ref spewing in journal bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1631968
Thanks for that. I found what looks like a fix for it upstream, and
also noticed quite a lot of other bugfix commits ahead of the current
Fedora build, so I've backported a bunch of those and am running a new
PackageKit build now:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=29813351
once that's done I'll submit an update. Please give that updated
PackageKit a shot and see if it behaves better. Thanks!
