Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-12-11 10:48:37 UTC 
If you look in Tools > Options > Online Updates, there is a section for sending in OS and hardware info, but the user agent on Linux doesnt include the Linux kernel number in the string (example below).

LibreOfficeDev 5.1.0.0.beta2
(82b0bf45d0527db84e11689dc8a15eefaa699409;
Linux;
X86_64;
BundledLanguages=en-US)

The kernel version can be gotten from SalGenericInstance::getOSVersion() in vcl/generic/app/geninst.cxx.

@Alex, @Steve: How does the OS part of the user agent appear on your end on Mac?

Comment 5 Michael Meeks 2015-12-14 18:14:54 UTC 
This is around changing the default for whether we send more or less information - there is a check-box for that in that dialog; more work is required to turn that thing on for some 1% case.
Comment 6 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-12-15 11:18:55 UTC 
@Alex: Was that on a daily 5.1 or master build, as there should a section there, or maybe it wasnt done for mac.
Comment 7 Alex Thurgood 2015-12-15 15:44:37 UTC 
@Jay : that was 5032 TDF production release
