[Impact]
whoopsie's querying of network-manager's state is broken and this results in whoopsie only being able to detect if the system is on-line when network manager's state changes. Subsequently, if one manually restarts whoopsie then whoopsie will stay off-line until an n-m state change. This can result in crashes not being uploaded. Additionally, whoopsie's systemd service file does not start after networking which is incorrect since it initially needs to query network-manager's state. (However, this ended up allowing crash reports to still be submitted because whoopsie would start first then the n-m's state would change and whoopsie would detect that.)
[Test Case] (state detection failure)
1) Manually restart the whoopsie service
2) Observe the following two messages:
"Jul 14 14:48:09 speedy whoopsie[14137]: [14:48:09] Could not get the Network Manager state:
Jul 14 14:48:09 speedy whoopsie[14137]: [14:48:09] GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such property 'state'"
with the version of network-manager from -proposed you will not see these messages when restarting whoopsie.
[Test Case] (starting after network-manager0
1) Boot your system
2) Observe the following in syslog:
"Jul 17 06:46:47 speedy whoopsie[1156]: [06:46:47] Could not get the Network Manager state:
Jul 17 06:46:47 speedy whoopsie[1156]: [06:46:47] GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
"
with the version of network-manager in -proposed you will not see the "NetworkManager was not provided" messages.
[Regression Potential]
Its possible that systems that were not submitting crash reports suddenly will and that will use some network bandwidth and Error Tracker resources.
