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
