Re: Canonical calliing home?

O ....I thought it was just to see how many boxes sold from a manufacture with *buntu on them were out their.

but I guess I could stretch it to include me sense I re-manufacture the old box's I find on the side of the road and get given me........ by swaping chips and drives around until I get the best mix of what I have ........

at current that's 3-OLD one's (700Mhz-CPU's or so with 383-RAM)soon to be 4 (a 2Gig celeron and hope 512-RAM..gotta check the chip drawer) and my mane box in my sig.
the mane box Kubuntu-10.04-KDE4.5.0 the rest Kubuntu9.10

all of them duel or multi booting 8)

I guess I'll go ahead and install it .

Well, with Windows its a "duel" boot because Microsoft is always shooting at Linux, otherwise its a "dual" boot because there are two to choose from.

Re: Canonical calliing home?

Clearly - either spelling is correct... they both apply!

Haven't seen this in any of the replies here, but you need to check to see if you have the option to send this data 'checked' in your Software Sources > Statistics tab. Otherwise, you won't be 'calling home' with the data.

I thought these two things were two separate things? One to say Hey I'm Still here Being Used and the other was Hey This Is The Software I Use.

Re: Canonical calliing home?

Hmm. Both indicate it is a 'popularity contest' so I assumed they were the same. Are they in fact different?

Re: Canonical calliing home?

IDK. I just have the Census package installed and there is a CRON job listed for daily run and I don't have the other checked.

[Snowhog]

Re: Canonical calliing home?

The package was installed here as well, and the cron job was present too. Did notice however, that in the configuration file (/usr/share/popularity-contest/default.conf) I had it turned off (PARTICIPATE="no") so I edited the file and changed that to "yes" and rebooted.

So now I'll be participating in two popularity contests? That's okay by me.

Re: Canonical calliing home?

Hmmm. Don't know what that is, but I agree. If it helps push forward Kubuntu and associated applications then I'm for it.

Re: Canonical calliing home?

Ya, after this discussion I switched to participation.
