[Bug 964508] Re: whoopsie uploads crash reports, including core dumps, when on a 3G connection

[Martin Pitt]

I'm all for having this in precise. Uploading large dumps, without even
telling the user, through 2G or 3G connections is really bad. With 2G it
sucks up all your bandwidth, and at least here 3G plans usually come
with rather small volume limits after which you get throttled.

Title:
  whoopsie uploads crash reports, including core dumps, when on a 3G
  connection

Status in “whoopsie-daisy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently, whoopsie attempts to upload crash reports whenever an
  Internet connection is available. For binary applications, whoopsie
  also uploads a core dump if this is the first time the crash has been
  seen.

  We need to determine whether we want whoopsie to only send the crash
  report when on a 3G connection, or if we want it to wait until it is
  on a WiFi or Ethernet connection for sending both the crash report and
  core dump.

  Network Manager provides a DBus API for checking whether the default
  route is over a 3G connection:
