Public bug reported:
Sometimes, after a reboot, whoopsie sends large block of data (sometimes
here 60+ megabytes) via https to the IP 91.189.92.55 (daisy.ubuntu.com).
User does not know what data is being sent "now", and why it is being
sent "now". User only sees the uplink clogged for quite some time.
Workaround: disable the network, wipe out /var/crash and enable the
network again.
There is no way to control whoopsie except disabling automated
bugreports in the SystemSettings/Privacy.
Suggestions:
- in the SystemSettings/Privacy, add some scheduling control like
"sending data: only allowed from 2am to 5am local time"
- alert the user if the datafile is larger than -say- 500 kilobytes and
wait for user confirmation.
