Ubuntu version consumes too much cpu

[elichai]

After I updated my ubuntu version to 15.10 today Redshift-gtk started taking almost 100% of the cpu and even if I close it it's still taking much of the CPU until i kill -9 it. Here is the package policy:

redshift:   
  Installed: 1.10-5ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.10-5ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.10-5ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Here is the data from top:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

Thanks!

I had the same problem with flux or rather the xflux daemon.. using 100%. Not so for 14.10.

Still got that problem. I tried running strace redshift-gtk and I got this:

Any Idea what causing the problem? Thanks!

Ya Ubuntu. Joking aside try removing some of the none essential dependencies. I think Debuntu allows that

[jonls]

Thanks for the report @elichai. I'll look into this when I have more time on my hands.

+1 - After resume cpu goes 100% -

Strace shows this (extract)

oll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 5, 4294967295) = 2 ([{fd=10, revents=POLLHUP}, {fd=12, revents=POLLHUP}]) recvmsg(6, 0x7ffd79cac4b0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 5, 4294967295) = 2 ([{fd=10, revents=POLLHUP}, {fd=12, revents=POLLHUP}]) recvmsg(6, 0x7ffd79cac4b0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 5, 4294967295) = 2 ([{fd=10, revents=POLLHUP}, {fd=12, revents=POLLHUP}]) recvmsg(6, 0x7ffd79cac4b0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 5, 4294967295) = 2 ([{fd=10, revents=POLLHUP}, {fd=12, revents=POLLHUP}]) recvmsg(6, 0x7ffd79cac4b0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

I had the same issue now (eating 100% of a core of my cpu, strace showed the same as above over and over). Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. is there any update on this?
