Bug Description
Ubuntu 14.04 r188, Ubuntu 14.10 r203
1. Flash the phone.
2. Lock the phone.
3. Wake up the phone.
What you see: "No data sources available"
What you should see: Something less miserable.
As someone who's just started using the phone, I probably have no idea that the lock screen tries to show me statistics of my usage or whatever. And even if I do know, I probably don't care. Why, then, is the phone complaining to me about its failure? What am I supposed to do about it?
A simple solution would be to show no text at all in this situation.
This is not a duplicate of bug 1339002, because stats on the welcome screen are on by default. However, fixing that bug might fix this bug too.

It can't be fixed as a single bug. The desired resolution and specs will be updated as soon as they are available. https:/

I did waste 10 minutes or so eagerly hunting around for data sources to enable due to this message. It sounds like a call to action, "you should totally enable some data sources to see awesome stuff here" but it isn't. It should say nothing, or something that gives you a clue as to what you are expected to do about it.

I've attached a branch that does, I think, fix this as a single bug. It changes one line of code, plus three three lines of unit tests.

This bug was fixed in the package libusermetrics - 1.1.1+15.
---------------
libusermetrics (1.1.1+
[ CI Train Bot ]
* New rebuild forced.
[ Matthew Paul Thomas ]
* Fixes bug 1286276 (Lock screen whines that "No data sources
available" on first use), simply by changing that string to "".
First use is just the most obvious situation where this happens.
There is never a situation where it would be appropriate to say "No
data sources available" to someone who has bought your phone. (LP:
#1286276)

Adding libusermetrics that's the source of that data. With the new system in-the-works we should avoid that indeed.
