pkg-static consuming 100% cpu

gmjs

Identical issue with my copy of the community version here (2.4.4-RELEASE-p2, upgraded three times since installation).

I've killed off the pkg-static process with "kill" and disabled the "Dashboard Check" for updates. This seems to bring CPU usage back to normal, provided that I don't open the Update screen.

I've done the following and corrected (temporarily) the 100% CPU.

Via ssh, I moved /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static to /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static.old and created /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static (a shell script) with the following contents.

while :
do
sleep 5000
done;

don't forget to chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static

This has corrected my CPU usage until the servers are back up. I am not sure if this survives a reboot, but as such it's easy to implement.

I disabled updates in the dashboard in /system_update_settings.php 30 minutes ago, no change. Did some of you guys had any luck with that?

Can take up to ~1 hour. But it will stop, trust me.

@rico It just did. I guess I didn't wait long enough. Thanks for the tip.

@rico Disable automatic update. Nice tip! Thanks from Brazil!

Problem disappeared

Package servers appear to be up now, at least from my location.

Same here, looks like back in business.

I split this off from the previous thread that was almost a year old. Locking this since it's solved and to prevent similar thread necromancy from happening here.
