So, after discussion on irc with seb128 and tedg is seems this is basically:
- indicator-sound in the user's session will export currently playing song information using accountsservice - indicator-sound in the greeter will display it, and will allow controlling it via the "session broadcast service" (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/unity-greeter-session-broadcast/trunk.14.04/view/head:/README) - indicator-sound in the user's session will respond to events from the greeter This exposes user data to the greeter, mainly song titles. Since it is assumed that the song titles that are displayed are only what is currently playing, the amount of information that is being leaked is minimal. I agree to having this information be available to the greeter if the following conditions are met: 1- if the song is no longer _currently_ playing, indicator-sound in the user session needs to clear-out the song information from accounts service 2- The user needs to have a privacy control available that will allow them to turn off song information being sent to accounts service, and turn off indicator-sound from responding to greeter events (this can either be exposed or not in the gui as the design team prefers, as long as a setting _is_ available) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293677 Title: FFE: Export data to accounts service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1293677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
