Did this seem to start after the upgrade to network-manager?  I don't
think that it this behavior is directly related to the network-manager
package, but I don't understand the issue well enough to rule out the
possibility that the update indirectly caused this behavior to surface.

> why is that..

As you may know, Trisquel is based on Ubuntu.  It looks like Ubuntu's
default configuration[1] for the "ntp" package uses ntp.ubuntu.com as a
fallback NTP server (for synchronizing the system clock).  Trisquel has
not defined an alternative default configuration, which is why Ubuntu's
is the default.

It certainly is not malware, but perhaps it would be better to use a
different NTP server.  I know little about how NTP works, so I don't
know what server(s) would be appropriate.

I did not have ntp installed on my system, and I don't think I ever
removed it, (I didn't know it existed until now) so I don't think it is
one of Trisquel's default packages.  Do you remember when/why you
installed it?  If you don't need it, the quickest way to stop these
connections to Ubuntu's servers is to just uninstall it.  If you do need
it, but want to use a different NTP server, you should be able to edit
/etc/ntp.conf accordingly.  If it is decided that a different server
should be used by default for all users of this package then Trisquel
can make that change to the package, but you don't need to wait in order
to change it on your own system.  (Note that restarting certain
services, or simply restarting all services by rebooting, might be
needed for any changes to take effect.)

I have not been following this thread, but it looks like the last
comment is from Magic Banana. Has Falken tried Magic's troubleshooting
suggestions yet?
