nikolamHi, I think I removed Amazon addon to unity and ubuntu one. But I still get commercial software offerings while searching dash home.12:54
nikolamDoes that means it searches local application cache from software center or it search it online?12:55
nikolamanyone actually using unity? Since I see people everywhere migrate to xfce/xubuntu, gnome, other distributions12:59
nikolamI personally do not get unity and idea behind it, and was sing it for several days12:59
nikolamI install epps they go away hidden in "all apps"13:00
nikolamI am installiing apps in software centre, it get stuck.13:00
nikolamsince install I get dozen of crash reports etc.13:00
nikolamwhen I log in, before unity displays, i have broken screen on top side for several seconds, etc etc (12.10)13:02
popeynikolam, what did you remove?13:09
popeythe usual way people remove the shopping lens is "sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping"13:09
nikolampopey, yes that is right.13:10
nikolamalso I removed Ubuntu one.13:10
nikolamI was just wondering if software center is searching locally or remotely and if I can remove commercial applications offerings from dash, to not to interfere with everyday use.13:11
popeyyou can set a filter in the applications lens, yes, so it only shows locally installed apps13:12
nikolamprecisely not to have "more suggestions".13:12
nikolamoh it is great13:12
nikolamBut I wouold need that for every user on machine13:12
popeykinda dumbs down the dash a bit when you disable all this stuff13:14
nikolamI figured I filter with right-click. not so intuitive.13:14
popeythere is a filter option in the top right, no need for right click13:14
nikolamyes, only they are filters per type of app. and it seems that removing "software center" removes "more suggestions" and I wanted that.13:17
nikolamI suppose I will find some more clever use of dash in the future, if any, other then making uninstalled apps visible.13:17
nikolamI still get that "searching in the dash" legal notice. Does that means searching in dash is still sent to third parties? (even after removal of unity-lens-shopping and ubuntu one)13:19
popeyno13:19
popeyit doesnt remove that legal notice13:19
DaekdroomThe video lens does send it to third parties too, I think.13:19
nikolamoh. so I need to remove video lens too.13:21
popeyor just flick the switch which turns them all off in the privacy settings13:21
nikolampopey, yes but how to do it for all users and future usernames. I suppose only by removing13:22
nikolamYou are right, after removing all unity parts that sends data over internet, I end up with not much13:23
popeyyou could do it via a gsettings command13:23
popeywhy do you want to disable these things?13:24
nikolampopey, because I got terrified reading searching the dash - legal notice.13:25
popeyterrified by what?13:25
nikolamterrified by the thing I did not consult any online source I got terrified just by reading it. And it reads that third parties can have all my usage information ad searches etc.13:27
popeynot all13:28
popeyand not usage information13:28
nikolamI was not also informed about that before installing. I also removed ubuntu one in previous LTS, by seeing it making connections over internet.13:28
nikolamAnd now things are all over the place.13:29
nikolampopey, I understand. But...13:29
nikolamIf i can make it behave, I can use it. if I can not control what information it sends from me and to who...13:30
popeyit's not misbehaving13:30
popeywe're pretty up front about what it's sending13:30
popeyand to where13:30
nikolamI have a feeling, like it does not work for my interests. My own system. But I have no clue what it is doing. And I think it is all about having an OS.13:31
nikolamAnyway, I am looking on fixing next leak, video lense.13:32
popeyI find it difficult to understand the logic of someone who uses gmail, yet doesn't want data "leak" from their system.13:33
nikolampopey, it is simple. Gmail has it usage case for public mail. And presents just right usage terms.13:34
nikolamI routinely block google java scripts, DNS and google search.13:34
nikolamI don't want my own system to be someone's shopping center.13:49

robin-glosterhi, where would i report bugs on unity.ubuntu.com?22:52
Jswingrobin-gloster, no on https://launchpad.net/unity23:00
robin-glosterJswing do website bugs really belong there?23:01
Jswingwhat do you mean by "website bugs" ?23:02
JswingYou wan to report a bug on the unity website ?23:04
robin-glosterJswing: yep23:04
robin-glosterhttp://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/development/unity/ after building nux it should be added that unity-env must be called so that unity will build succesfully23:08
JswingThen I think you are on the right channel but you should ask your question on european working hours23:12
robin-glosterJswinng: qill do23:14
