This is a bit redonkulous. I just setup a new box using the utopic 14.10 amd64 desktop dvd image. I upgraded it from utopic to devel, which points to vivid 15.04 currently.
I didn't notice this traffic before on my LAN's DNS cache because normally I would configure the static IP info from /etc/networking/interfaces, but this time I decided to do it from within the Unity GUI with NetworkManager. Then I started seeing lots of queries for daisy on my DNS cache server. IPv4 through NAT works, as does IPv6 using Hurricane Electric's TunnelBroker. I have blanked out any identifying IP info from the output below. john@venus:~$ sudo tail -f /var/log/dnsmasq.log | grep -i daisy [sudo] password for john: Nov 25 12:54:01 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:01 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:01 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:02 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:02 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:04 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:04 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:05 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:05 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:06 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:06 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:16 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:16 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:17 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:17 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 2001:470:-:---::-- Nov 25 12:54:32 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:32 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:32 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:32 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:33 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:33 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:35 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:35 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:36 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:36 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:42 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:42 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:42 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:42 dnsmasq[12968]: query[AAAA] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- Nov 25 12:54:43 dnsmasq[12968]: query[A] daisy.ubuntu.com from 192.168.1.-- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991481 Title: Constant dns traffic for daisy.ubuntu.com Status in Ubuntu error tracker client (whoopsie): Confirmed Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “whoopsie” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Watching GNetworkMonitor's network-changed signal causes constant DNS traffic. Andy Whitcroft points out that the NETLINK_ROUTE socket set up by GNetworkMonitor will fire events every time an ARP entry appears or disappears. Unfortunately, we currently need an additional layer of connectivity checking because checking NetworkManager's state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is not enough to know whether we're really online. Ubuntu does not yet use the NetworkManager connectivity check [1]. The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor in whoopsie. 1: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daisy- pluckers/whoopsie/trunk/view/head:/src/connectivity.c#L326 Original report follows: Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.
