Hmm, I see org.gnome.desktop.privacy report-technical-problems true but I don’t see an option under Gnome Settings → Privacy to turn that off. Anyone know where this setting is exposed and why it is on by default? (Pop!_OS 18.10)

Screenshot of Gnome Settings → Privacy. There is no option to turn off the reporting of technical problems.

@aral @gnome I think it only works with ABRT, so the setting only appears if you have ABRT installed.

As far as I know, only Fedora installs ABRT.

So that setting most likely has no effect for you: nothing gets reported automatically.

You might want to ask the devs in #control-center on GimpNet though, if you want to be sure. 🙂

@aral @gnome also, when you log into GNOME for the first time, there's an "initial setup" thing that asks you a few questions. One of them is whether you want to enable this or not.

That's made by GNOME upstream, but I don't know of any distro other than Fedora which uses it by default.

@mathieu @gnome @aral it's funny i was just saying gnome should have an opt-in auto bug reporting mechanism... i didn't know about ABRT. it's not even in the AUR. thanks for the info.
