Title:
  Constant dns traffic for daisy.ubuntu.com

Status in Ubuntu error tracker client (whoopsie):
  Confirmed
Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.

  Original report follows:

  Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After
  removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.
