Next: how to setup my environment variable for vim ?
From: Merciadri Luca on 24 Apr 2010 03:50
Hi,

When my Lenny (w. k. 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem) encounters a kernel error, a
box pops, and I am asked if I want to report the (de)bug information.

1. Why can't I specify somewhere that I always want to report this info?
Such boxes are annoying
2. If I am not connected to the Internet, the (de)bug info is marked as
`sent' after having chosen a button which allows the reporting tool to
send data over the Internet. Why?

Thanks.

Yes, that's "kerneloops" daemon :-)

Yes, you can.

/etc/kerneloops.conf

# Set the following variable to "yes" if you want to automatically
# submit your oopses to the database for use by your distribution or the
# Linux kernel developers

allow-submit = ask

Set that to "yes".

My guess is that kerneloops daemon just says "sent" when you click in
"yes" submit button but cannot address if the user is online or not.

I dunno what method uses kerneloops to send the data (e-mail?). If sends
the info by e-mail, you could check Exim's queue by being root and
issuing "mailq" command.

That's my guess too.

Actually, mailq seems to give nothing.

This looks like kerneloops sends the oopses through a simple
URL. Strange. It seems not to even ping a reference IP to see if the
connexion is still alive. Weird.

submit-url = http://submit.kerneloops.org/submitoops.php is appended
at the end of my kerneloops.conf.

I digged a bit about how the kerneloops daemon works and I guess it does
not use e-mail but some kind of mix between dbus system to gather
information about the crash and then it sends the report to the URL
defined in "kerneloops.conf" file:

http://submit.kerneloops.org/submitoops.php

If you directly load that page, it says:

***
200 thank you for submitting the kernel oops information RemoteIP: [...]
***

Although nothing was send :-P
