[Bug 1286276] Re: Lock screen whines that "No data sources available" on first use

 

I did waste 10 minutes or so eagerly hunting around for data sources to
enable due to this message. It sounds like a call to action, "you should
totally enable some data sources to see awesome stuff here" but it
isn't. It should say nothing, or something that gives you a clue as to
what you are expected to do about it.

Title:
  Lock screen whines that "No data sources available" on first use

Status in libusermetrics package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04 r188, Ubuntu 14.10 r203

  1. Flash the phone.
  2. Lock the phone.
  3. Wake up the phone.

  What you see: "No data sources available"

  What you should see: Something less miserable.

  As someone who's just started using the phone, I probably have no idea
  that the lock screen tries to show me statistics of my usage or
  whatever. And even if I do know, I probably don't care. Why, then, is
  the phone complaining to me about its failure? What am I supposed to
  do about it?

  A simple solution would be to show no text at all in this situation.

  This is not a duplicate of bug 1339002, because stats on the welcome
  screen are on by default. However, fixing that bug might fix this bug
  too.
