System Settings for mobile on PC
Today I searched for the phrase "System settings" in my dash. And this is what came up: http://
I was rather confused by the second "System Settings" one with clock like gears which appeared, so I right-clicked on it for more information: http://
I then went and opened this seconds "System Settings" which said that it is used for phones, tablets and convergent devices. And this is what I got: http://
I also went into each section and it really looked like those were the settings for a phone, it even had a vibration mode which was on, and lots of settings to do with mobile networks.
Then I decided to search for it in the Ubuntu Software Centre, and I found it and its page (as you can see the "Remove" button is greyed out): http://
I installed Ubuntu on my machine a few weeks before it claims that the second "System Settings" was installed. I also have a VM running the same up-to-date version of Ubuntu that I have and that does not have this second "System Settings installed on it, so it is probably not something that is meant to be installed there in some update or something.
Also when I was turning my computer off and I clicked the Shutdown button on the dialog which asks you if you would like to Shutdown or Restart, and my screen froze for about two seconds and then this image with a dotted border around it flashed on my screen for a split second (it was too quick to take a screenshot of so this is the best that I have got): http://
So my question really is, what is this second "System Settings" application which claims to be for phones, tablets and convergent devices doing on my machine? Where did it come from? Is it meant to be there, or some sort of bug or Trojan?
