Why is these services running so often (dbus-daemon | dbus)?.....

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi, just wondering why so much activity between these two services? Should this be executing about every 30 minutes?

…and, why does this keep activating “dbus[924]: [system] Activating service name=‘org.freedesktop.PackageKit’ (using servicehelper)”?

Just a guess but yes. SMART data from the HD is bring refreshed locally and Packagekit is an update service maybe check for update??? dbus? because that is how thing communicate.
