/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:
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 ( 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 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. |
I should have included
Code:
apt list cron-apt on the end that is probably the cause. but it is not installed by default ( or at least it wasn't in the past ) |
ah.. ok ok... here is the results...
Code:
joseph@joseph:~$ sudo apt list cron-apt |
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 you could make it less frequent, or uninstall unattended-upgrades with Code:
sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades Code:
sudo apt purge unattended-upgrades |
just don't forget to keep updated manually
|
Code:
joseph@joseph:~$ sudo apt list unattended-upgrades I just want to make sure that doing this will not cause me any problem... |
Quote:
Yes it is ok to uninstall but you won't get security updates automatically you must manually update/upgrade Quote:
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 |
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.

Hello Firerat
It didn't solved my problem Firerat. Same thing happen again. What should I do now? :O
|
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 |
ah sorry for the late reply. I found it,
Code:
root 983 1 3 11:00 ? Ssl 0:07 /usr/lib/packagekit/packagekitd Code:
joseph@joseph:~$ ps -ef f |
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 "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 |
