/usr/lib/apt/methods/https bandwidth usage
 
Hello everyone,

I'm using nethogs for monitor my personal computer's network. I noticed from few days on,

Quote:

/usr/lib/apt/methods/https
is using my bandwidth. It keeps downloading. I don't know what, but it keeps downloading. I have a little slow internet connection. It keeps disturbing other downloads. I can't kill that process. Every time I kill it, at that very second, it starts with another PID.

This is not a cause of apt update or apt upgrade. Because, when I upgrade it uses "/usr/lib/apt/methods/http".. And I can see "/usr/lib/apt/methods/https" is also using more data than my "apt upgrade".

I stopped every automatic update in my system through "Software & Updates" GUI.

I didn't find any solution for this problem. So I'm posting it here.

Feel free to ask any question you want. I'll try my best to reply you as soon as possible.

Thank you.

do you have cron-apt installed?

Code:

apt show cron-apt
That will auto update and download packages
( starts at 04:00 daily by default )

I think the scripts stagger things a little, so 04:00 thing may be quiet and you will only see activity later

Thanks for your reply Firerat
 
Code:

joseph@joseph:~$ sudo apt show cron-apt
Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.13.0
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Maintainer: Ola Lundqvist <opal@debian.org>
Installed-Size: 91.1 kB
Depends: apt
Recommends: liblockfile1, mail-transport-agent, cron | cron-daemon
Tag: admin::automation, admin::package-management, implemented-in::shell,
 interface::commandline, interface::daemon, role::program,
 scope::utility, suite::debian, use::downloading,

Download-Size: 27.1 kB
APT-Sources: http://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
Description: automatic update of packages using apt-get
 Contains a tool that is run by a cron job at regular intervals. By default it
 just updates the package list and downloads new packages without installing.
 You can instruct it to run anything that you can do with apt-get
 (or aptitude).
 .
 It can optionally send mail to the system administrator on errors, log
 to syslog or a separate log file.
 .
 Observe that this tool may be a security risk, so you should not set it
 to do more than necessary. Automatic upgrade of all packages is NOT
 recommended unless you are in full control of the package repository.

This is what I got...

When I turn on my computer, after 5 or 10 minutes, I'll disconnect the internet. And re-enable it after 10 or 15 minutes. When I do that, I don't have any problem with this. If I don't do it, it continuously download data.

Firerat 09-03-2019 07:28 AM

I should have included

Code:

apt list cron-apt
if you see [installed]
on the end that is probably the cause.

but it is not installed by default ( or at least it wasn't in the past )

joseph_lewis 09-03-2019 08:00 AM

ah.. ok ok... here is the results...

Code:

joseph@joseph:~$ sudo apt list cron-apt
Listing... Done
cron-apt/stable,stable 0.13.0 all

So it's not installed then... oh... :O

Firerat 09-03-2019 08:26 AM

nope

at least we know it is not that

ok, since stretch unattended-upgrades is installed by default

https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades


confirm it is installed
Code:

apt list unattended-upgrades
That page details the configuration,
you could make it less frequent, or uninstall unattended-upgrades
with
Code:

sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades
at some later point you may want to purge any old configuration files belonging to that package
Code:

sudo apt purge unattended-upgrades

Firerat 09-03-2019 08:27 AM

just don't forget to keep updated manually

joseph_lewis 09-03-2019 08:36 AM

Code:

joseph@joseph:~$ sudo apt list unattended-upgrades
Listing... Done
unattended-upgrades/stable,stable,now 1.11.2 all [installed,automatic]

Ok... so it's installed. Is it ok if I uninstall it? If I do "apt upgrade", will it download and install upgrades without a problem?

I just want to make sure that doing this will not cause me any problem...

Yes it is ok to uninstall
but you won't get security updates automatically
you must manually update/upgrade

difficult to answer that one,
if you manually update/upgrade frequently you should have no problems
if you do not regularly update/upgrade you may be exposed to security flaws

joseph_lewis 09-03-2019 08:54 AM

ok nice... I removed it.. I usually check updates daily. I'll let you know the progress. :) Thanks for helping me Firerat... :) Is there anything else to be done, please let me know.

joseph_lewis 09-03-2019 10:36 PM

Hello Firerat
 
It didn't solved my problem Firerat. Same thing happen again. What should I do now? :O

Firerat 09-04-2019 02:17 AM

I can't think of anything else that would do this.

does it effect things by the same amount or less?
can you still see methods/https in nethogs?

while it is 'running'
Code:

ps -ef f

# not a typo -ef<space>f

can you see what is starting the methods/https ?

joseph_lewis 09-05-2019 12:41 AM

ah sorry for the late reply. I found it,

Code:

root      983    1  3 11:00 ?        Ssl    0:07 /usr/lib/packagekit/packagekitd
_apt      2549  983  0 11:02 ?        S      0:00  \_ /usr/lib/apt/methods/https

I posted the whole results below, if you want.

OK

packagekitd does not usually do things on its own, It helps other things.

What we will do is run a simulation.
Sounds more interesting than it is.

Code:

apt -s remove packagekit
# edit: no need for sudo
# it is all pretend ;)

it will probably show removal of
"Software & Updates" GUI

and perhaps something else.

"Software & Updates" GUI has already been told not to do updates
Some other GUI might not have been told yet *

oh ok ok... I've done as you told,

Code:

joseph@joseph:~$ apt -s remove packagekit
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree     
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  appstream apt-config-icons fwupd fwupd-amd64-signed gnome-software-common libappstream-glib8 libappstream4 libfwupd2
  libgcab-1.0-0 libsmbios-c2 libtss2-esys0 libtss2-udev libxmlb1 python3-distro-info tpm2-abrmd tpm2-tools
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gnome-software packagekit packagekit-tools
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 150 not upgraded.
Remv gnome-software [3.30.6-5]
Remv packagekit-tools [1.1.12-5]
Remv packagekit [1.1.12-5]

This is the result I got. Can you explain more about this? Will it cause me any problem after? Should I install previously removed applications? Or this way is better?
