Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
What I expected to happen
Login and start working
What happened
A dialog pops up when someone logs into a user account about something
called Clipit that talks about saving history (of what it doesn't say)
and a security risk with using it.
The help built into help produces no results about Clipit. So, what
history is it saving? How do I operate it? What are the security risks?
Are there Ubuntu-specific issues or Ubuntu 16-04 issues?
Why is there no basic usage info in Ubuntu help? Or is this one of those
goofy GUI-related apps where somebody builds a GUI app and thinks people
are going to pull up a terminal window to man/grep/etc help? Or is this
another case of, essentially, building my own article as I find bits and
pieces of info across dozens of articles.
Resolution
Realize what this is currently an unfinished Ubuntu component and remove
it before it blows up GRUB.
sudo apt-get remove clipit
