localhost.localdomain (from address lookup)
Just out of curiosity, is it only applying localhost.localdomain to
your 127.0.0.1 loopback interface (like it should), or is it trying to
apply it to an ethernet or wifi interface (which it shouldn't)?

Actual interfaces should get a different name than the loopback
interface.  Trying to use the same name to multiple interfaces is
liable to upset something.

Perhaps related, my /etc/hosts file just looks like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

With only those two lines in it.  Network manager is being told what to
do by my DHCP server.


  Here's the situation this morning. Following a suggestion from John Quirke

I added a line to /etc/NetManager/NetManager.conf

Added was  hostname-mode=none.

That has stopped the repeated logging, but now when I click on

the netmanager icon in the tray it tells me the network has been

disconnected. Actually it hasn't been so I don't know what is up with that.

I also do not understand why the repeated logging started as no changes were

made to anything network-related.

This is now my hosts file in /etc

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

I also do not understand the references to localhost4 and localhost 6 in that

file.

I connect to the internet on a wired connection to my providers router via DHCP. There

is no wireless or other networks involved.

While the log spamming has stopped I feel there is something else going on here.


Thanks
