That would be strange, as the code explicitly ignores the loopback device when automatically choosing a device to monitor. It directly examines /proc/net/route for the default route device, where "lo" doesn't appear under normal circumstances (unless you explicitly make "lo" the default route). And in case you don't have any default route set, it relies on glibtop for finding interfaces which are up and not "lo". If it automatically switched to "lo", that could have been a temporary issue in glibtop. Further, the automatic switching to "default route" device is broken, and the trivial patch (IPv4 only) is here: http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=141906 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
