Excellent. I was aware that it most likely was installed as a package dependency from something I installed.(not originally on my LL install)
Zeitgeist is mainly on Ubuntu Unity, which LL doesn't use. I was just giving suggestions on how to remove if somebody did want to.
I know Mint isn't in cahoots with canonical but profits speak louder than privacy, we will never truly know.
However I checked my LM and nothing there "enabled", so maybe terminology of "installed" and "enabled" is getting mixed up with people.
I don't take what I find in other forums as fact, just putting it out there to see if it holds true, which it does not. Thank you for clarifying gold_finger. Hard to find a good source for information nowadays, so it is refreshing to have an awesome community here that has a "finger on the pulse" so to say. (pun intended, LOL)
Is there a list of known packages that use/require Zeitgeist when installing them ?
I know I can check dependencies when installing packages as a first line of defence, just wondering if an actual list exists.
Just to clarify for anyone who reads this forum post LinuxLite does not come with Zeitgeist enabled.
