Ok, ignore previous post. My laptop was sitting unused and suddenly I hear the fans spin up (which they almost never do). Sure enough, the avahi-daemon was running up a full cpu core. I've attached the logs.
Thanks for looking into it. ** Attachment added: "avahi.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1799265/+attachment/5206776/+files/avahi.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to avahi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799265 Title: avahi-daemon high cpu, unusable networking Status in avahi package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Currently running Kubuntu 18.10, Dell XPS 13 9350 Since updating from Kubuntu 18.04 to 18.10, the avahi-daemon has been consistently hampering network performance and using CPU for long periods of time. When booting machine from off state, avahi-daemon uses an entire CPU at max load for approx 10 minutes. During this time, internet connectivity via wifi is essentially unusable. The wifi connection is good, but it seems that http transactions are cutoff mid-way so no webpage is able to load. When waking from sleep, the avahi-daemon causes similar symptoms, but with less than 1 full cpu usage, and with somewhat less degraded network performance, but still quite unusable. I have never had issues with avahi prior to the 18.10 upgrade, so I am fairly confident the issue is rooted in that change.
