(just kidding) I also found that the images took a while to show; I got that spinng wheel, too, but for all 5 images. I think they downloaded quickly, but they took a while to display. Clicking Firefox's reload seemed to help. (I also notice that yahoo pages take a long time to load and display.) > > There's a whole pile of things that could be network activity, but you > really want to do something like "netstat -atuevp" to see what, where, > and who is involved in network traffic. > There must be something more needed.

As far as I know, no weather, other calendar, etc. apps are running on this work-station. They are on the system, but should not be running. > Is the clock using NTP to correct itself?

By the way, my printer is powered up only when I print, which is rarely. I do not have any IOT gizmos. I have a modem, no router. No other computers connected to this work-station. All devices are connected to this work-station via hard connection (cable). So how do I get network traffic data for a full minute? That seems like the best option to either establish that something bad is going on, or that Joe Wulf is correct. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
