From 3c4e091f4e94b5eb6f46a4581c27381ad6db3843 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Quigley Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2017 19:45:53 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Don't install network-manager packages that call home. Ubuntu has added a suggested package which installs a config file for network manager. This config file enables a feature which checks the connection is actually connected to the internet. It does this by connecting to a website on the internet every five minutes. Due to privacy concerns, Lubuntu is NOT installing this package by default, leaving it to the user to decide if he/she wants this feature. --- blacklist | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/blacklist b/blacklist index e1406cf..c2bdd94 100644 --- a/blacklist +++ b/blacklist @@ -10,3 +10,12 @@ gnome-session apt-xapian-index # Bring part of gnome and unity unity-greeter + +#Ubuntu has added a suggested package which installs a config file for network manager. +#This config file enables a feature which checks the connection is actually connected +#to the internet.
