telemetry.dat

[Viva]

I found an empty file named telemetry.dat, I wonder which software created it there. I can't find any information about the file in google.

Did you recently install or un-install any software?

Where exactly did you find the file?

What OS are you running?

Look here and see if anything rings a bell:

I installed vdrift from getdeb recently.
The file was in the home folder.
I'm running ubuntu lucid lynx.

Well, there is a reference on the vdrift forum regarding the usage/storing of telemetry data:

http://vdrift.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=788&highlight=telemetry

Can you open the file and if so what are the contents?

I would be tempted to suggest that this is an innocuous data file, but you should perhaps ask the question on the vdrift forum to make sure.

Hope this helps.

The file was empty. It looks like a vdrift file, thanks for the help:D
