💖 UBUNTU-INSIGHTS-SYSTEM-OPT-OUT 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the <pink>Ubuntu-insights</pink> manual (ubuntu-insights(1), section 1) and it's literally all about the system-wide opt-out state. yes, the big one. the "everybody on this machine, we're done" switch. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ubuntu-insights-system-opt-out — manage or get the system-wide opt-out state. that's it, that's the gig 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ubuntu-insights system-opt-out [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: this command manages or gets the system-wide opt-out state for data collection and upload. it's the master switch, the group chat admin, the final say 💀

When the system opt-out is active, literally all collection and upload operations behave as if consent is denied — doesn't matter what the per-user consent settings say, doesn't matter what the per-source consent settings say. system opt-out said no, so it's no. periodt 👑

Also important, ngl: setting the system opt-out state typically requires administrative privileges to write to the system configuration directory. so like... bring your sudo, or bring your disappointment 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for system-opt-out. the classic, the icon, the "wait what does this do again" button ✨
  • -s, --state="" — the system opt-out state to set (true or false). yes queen, binary decisions only, no in-between 💖

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these came free with the parent command, bestie, like when your order comes with a lil extra drink 🍓

  • --config="" — use a specific configuration file
  • --consent-dir="" — the base directory of the consent state files
  • --insights-dir="" — the base directory of the insights report cache
  • --quiet[=false] — suppress all output except errors. the "do not perceive me" flag 🙈
  • --system-config-dir="" — the directory of the system-wide configuration file
  • -v, --verbose[=0] — issue INFO (-v), DEBUG (-vv). stack those v's, the way that one -v is INFO and two -vv is DEBUG, iykyk 🔥
