[Bug 298617] Re: Popularity Contest should be uninstallable
@Lenin I'm not sure why you changed the status to "Fix Released". As far as I can see the ubuntu-standard still depends on popularity-contest on Ubuntu 19.10. The same applies for the development branch of Ubuntu 20.04: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/arm64/ubuntu-standard/1.443 Could you please change the status back to Triaged to indicate that this bug is unfixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298617 Title: Popularity Contest should be uninstallable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/popularity-contest/+bug/298617/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please make the application uninstallable. For me it feels fishy like pre-installed bloatware on windows computers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298617 Title: Popularity Contest should be uninstallable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/popularity-contest/+bug/298617/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 298617] Re: Popularity Contest should be uninstallable
To do this would be a simple change in debian/control to drop it down to Recommends in ubuntu-standard. Perhaps there is a reason for it being the way it is, hence the explanation above, i.e. please open an idea on Ubuntu Brainstorm. If enough people get behind this idea it can be implemented. It is preferred to do it this way since it is a change to the default options of an installed system. I have marked this Wishlist, Confirmed for now, but again, please see Brainstorm or alternatively one of the Ubuntu IRC channels, perhaps someone higher up in the chain of command can give you a better explanation or push this through. Thank you and good luck :) ** Changed in: popularity-contest (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: popularity-contest (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- Popularity Contest should be uninstallable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree that it is may not be security (even though it may inadvertently report information that the system administrator does not wish to reveal). Even though, not being security bug, does not render the bug itself invalid. ** Changed in: popularity-contest (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- Popularity Contest should be uninstallable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to make Ubuntu better. Since what you submitted is not really a bug, or a problem, but rather an idea to improve Ubuntu, you are invited to post your idea in Ubuntu Brainstorm at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ where it can be discussed, voted by the community and reviewed by developers. We also appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a regular (non- security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please be careful when reporting bugs in future when selecting the 'Security Problem' option. Thank you again. ** Changed in: popularity-contest (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid ** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability -- Popularity Contest should be uninstallable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Cause is in the upgrader of the release where the jump is in the graph. Only somebody with access to the raw data can find the exact date, and thus the Ubuntu upgrade that has caused it.

It is interesting how that it came to yes on my system. Most popularity-contest directories have been created on my system on 2008-05-01. In the default file: /usr/share/popularity-contest/default.conf it is set to no, As I do not recall setting it that way, I assume it has been installed this way. I think this has been done all in one Ubuntu release, as there is a sharp increase in the date graph at: http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ Unfortunately, the date scale is unreadable there. Apparently there are a lot of systems where it came to yes on that date. Again: the issue is that the setting is apparently yes for quite a few people, and that it cannot be configured in the GUI. ** Changed in: popularity-contest (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- Popularity Contest should be uninstallable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
