[Bug 991481] Re: Constant dns traffic for daisy.ubuntu.com

[Evan Dandrea]

** Also affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

+ Watching GNetworkMonitor's network-changed signal causes constant DNS
+ traffic.
+ 
+ Unfortunately, we currently need this because checking NetworkManager's
+ state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is not enough to know whether we're really
+ online since Ubuntu does not yet use the NetworkManager connectivity
+ check.
+ 
+ The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor in
+ whoopsie.
+ 
+ Original report follows:
+ 
  Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After
  removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.

  Watching GNetworkMonitor's network-changed signal causes constant DNS
  traffic.

  Unfortunately, we currently need this because checking
  NetworkManager's state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is not enough to know
  whether we're really online since Ubuntu does not yet use the
  NetworkManager connectivity check [1].

  The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor
  in whoopsie.
