Ubuntu Desktop sends telemetry by default and is opt-out.
What about Ubuntu Server? Is there telemetry in Ubuntu Server and is it enabled by default?
Just curious.

I don't use unity.

Are you sure this is part of Unity and not Ubuntu itself though?
Connor Moore
just uncheck them u belta
Landon Hall
Yes, on Ubuntu Desktop you can do so.
However, what about Ubuntu Server on a VPS? There is no Unity or any graphical UI for that matter where you can untick those options.
Jack Richardson
The burden of proof is on you to prove that it exists in other versions of Ubuntu
Brandon Lewis
What's up with these red hat shills, can't you understand that GNOME is unusable shit made by pedantic and incompetent devs?

>Telemetry is a feature of unity
>Ubuntu server has no DE
How do you disable telemetry on Ubuntu server?

That's why I was asking for confirmation whether Telemetry is a part of Unity or of Ubuntu itself, you fucking ignorant moron.
Nobody in this thread has explicitly said "No, it is an Unity-exclusive thing".
Read before you type.
Parker Lewis
This should be self evident to even the lowest of IQ individuals. Google before you make shitty threads.
Cameron Sanchez
Well, it's clearly not self-evident since someone has yet to explicitly state "Oh that's just for Unity! So no need to worry about it!". And yes I used Google, however there are no websites I can find that talk about Ubuntu Telemetry (or Unity telemetry, for that matter) in detail and describe whether it's an Ubuntu thing or a Unity thing.
David Rivera
The so-called telemetry is a feature of Unity by which you can search places like Wikipedia, Amazon, Facebook, etc. when you make a search in the dash, it comes disabled by default.
I believe gnome shell has a similar feature, but god forbid Gnome devs get criticized.
Jaxon Bell
I'm not talking about the Amazon search thing, I'm aware that this has been disabled by default in newer Ubuntu versions.
I'm talking about the "Send occasional system information to Canonical" and "Send error reports to Canonical" thing. I'm not sure if that's also a thing in Ubuntu Server and whether it's enabled by default or not.
However, judging from 's reply, it seems that this is indeed just a Unity feature, so this thread is pretty much done for I believe, since I'm not running Unity on my VPS. So uh, thanks anons I guess.
Isaiah Anderson
Pretty sure the error reports are managed by the apport and whoopsie packages but i don't know about the other checkbox.
John Brown
If you're that concerned user why are you asking Sup Forums and not the Ubuntu forums?
Dylan Thompson

Wow! how hard it is to
>apt remove whoopsie
And it's not a part of the unity.
Robert Wright
Too lazy desu lol
Alexander White
That's just the error reporting portion. That doesn't cover the "Send occasional system info to Canonical" thing.
Evan Lee
root@vps:~# apt remove whoopsie
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'whoopsie' is not installed, so not removed

Alright, I guess that means Ubuntu Server does not ship with the error reporting thing at least, so that's good.
Now the only thing I'm really wondering about is the "Send occasional error info to Canonical" thing. I guess I can ask the Ubuntu forums for that then. Thanks though user.

>Send occasional error info to Canonical
It is atually a gnome part, called zenity or zeitgeist or something like that, I am not sure.
Mason Nguyen
do you know what packages are those? so i can remove it..
i use ubuntu mate and i have whoopsie installed.. but theres no privacy option in system settings so i have to remove them manually.
btw this is very disappointing.. i've been using ubuntu for years and had no idea these existed..
Oliver Gomez
The package you're looking for is called apport
