Package: fwupd Version: 1.2.10-2 Severity: wishlist There are a wide variety of situations where a user may never want to send a report about successful firmware update. For example, I've worked at a nonprofit dealing with mental health where sending reports to the vendor was forbidden as a blanket policy because they might contain sensitive client data. Other people are concerned about privacy, and yet others may be on a metered or slow connection and wish not to send unneeded data.
Currently, every time "fwupd get-updates" runs, it prompts to send a report about the last update. This is bothersome for users who never wish to send an update. It would be beneficial if fwupd learned a configuration option to never send an update for any reason and to avoid prompting to do so. If a configuration option already exists to do this, consider this a request to document the behavior or refer to a manual page for the configuration file in the fwupdmgr(1) manual page so it can be easily discovered. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-rc5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fwupd depends on: ii libarchive13 3.4.0-1 ii libc6 2.29-2 ii libefiboot1 37-2 ii libefivar1 37-2 ii libelf1 0.176-1.1 ii libfwupd2 1.2.10-2 ii libgcab-1.0-0 1.2-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.60.6-2 ii libgnutls30 3.6.9-5 ii libgpg-error0 1.36-7 ii libgpgme11 1.13.1-1 ii libgudev-1.0-0 233-1 ii libgusb2 0.3.0-1 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.4.4-2 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-26 ii libsmbios-c2 2.4.1-1 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.64.2-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.29.0-2 ii libxmlb1 0.1.8-1+b1 ii shared-mime-info 1.10-1 Versions of packages fwupd recommends: ii bolt 0.8-4 ii fwupd-amd64-signed [fwupd-signed] 1.2.10+2 ii python3 3.7.3-1 ii tpm2-abrmd 2.1.1-1+b1 ii tpm2-tools 3.1.3-2+b1 fwupd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
