Public bug reported:
I have a system monitor applet in my upper panel, set to show network
traffic. It shows constant traffic, in fact, the less traffic there is,
the more it shows.
I also have Network Monitor 2.12.0 as an applet, to monitor my wireless
connection. If I open it it shows a 60 to 64 % signal, and no packets
being tranferred, and yet the system monitor shows at least 60 to 70%
traffic.
When I open an application that accesses the internet or network, the
system monitor shows a more normal amount of traffic, and when I close
the app that accesses it jumps back up to the higher access level.
I have Firestarter, and it shows no attempts to access or scan or hack
my computer, so I know its not some covert access.
Its not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it.
Alsp. when I tried to submit this report, I was told System Monitor
2.16.1 does not exist in Ubuntu. I guess I got an ubuntu that has
packages included with the distro that are not part of anyone elses
distro, cause it was installed by default.
