Title: Constant dns traffic for daisy.ubuntu.com Status in Ubuntu error tracker client (whoopsie): Confirmed Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “whoopsie” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Watching GNetworkMonitor's network-changed signal causes constant DNS traffic. Andy Whitcroft points out that the NETLINK_ROUTE socket set up by GNetworkMonitor will fire events every time an ARP entry appears or disappears. Unfortunately, we currently need an additional layer of connectivity checking because checking NetworkManager's state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is not enough to know whether we're really online. Ubuntu does not yet use the NetworkManager connectivity check [1]. The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor in whoopsie. 1: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daisy- pluckers/whoopsie/trunk/view/head:/src/connectivity.c#L326 Original report follows: Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.
