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

[Martin Pitt]

The ConsoleKit hack looks a bit gross. We shouldn't assume internals of
CK, as they might change (e. g. /var/run -> /run, with transitional
directory going away), CK itself might change (systemd), etc.

I think we should rather change NM's D-BUS policy to allow these calls
for root as well, and perhaps allow everyone to read the properties.

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:
