This just happened when I resumed the computer this morning. Going into suspend last night I had Power Panel left open. This morning Power Panel was all greyed out and the hard disk light was flashing like a disco light show.
I used these commands:
$ ps -aux | grep upowerd | grep -v grep
root 2013 0.5 0.0 349976 7372 ? Rsl Aug11 11:12 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
$ sudo killall -9 upowerd
Of course now upowerd isn’t running at all but that’s OK it’ll come back with the next reboot. I don’t use it much anyway just to check when wireless mouse or keyboard batteries are low.
