‘Welcome’ message after system startup ... see photo

[vince.vs]

Hello,

Instead of ‘No video today’, the following text regularly appears after starting or restarting UT:
"No data for today (/com/lomiri/UsersMetrics/DataSource/6)
See photo.
I tried to find the path indicated, but I couldn't find anything ...

[arubislander]

@vince.vs The path is. Not a (full) filesystem path
Rather this is probably the left-overs of some app that shared status info to the greeter infographic, which you have since uninstalled.

to expand a bit on the answer given, the system allows for applications to add to the predefined user metrics, but there is no provision to remove an existing user metric; not that there is any provision to remove features added to the system by apps, there is no such feature but even if there was one, no app could use it to clean an user metric added to the system because there is no api for that.

If this is really annoying for you the system database for user metrics is /var/lib/usermetrics/usermetrics6.db and I'd guess that (if you know your way with sqlite3 utility) hacking around in this sqlite database could help you to bid good riddance to this user metric and it may even work after restarting the phone, but it's at your risk. I did not try it myself, I don't know if renumbering the entries is necessary or useful or deadly.

Thank you for your explanation.
That’s probably what you’re describing.
I’m not familiar with SQLite3, but I know it’s built into BleachBit. Is it compatible with UT? And if so, as you say, it’s at my own risk...

,I don't know about BleachBit, sqlite3 is available on UT (and on many Linux distros)

It's likely you'll need to delete one row from this table and one row from the data source table.

Thank you for your quick response and suggestion regarding SQLite3.
I’ll give it a go based on your advice next w-e, if is possible.
Have a good week !

[gpatel-fr]

@vince.vs

good luck.
Possibly try to do a backup of the tables using something along the lines of

sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/usermetrics/usermetrics6.db .dump >~/mybackup

Possibly the Lock Message app?
