Bug Description
apport trunk r2483
If there is a kernel crash or oops, apport-gtk shows the "Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" message:
elif report_type == 'KernelCrash' or report_type == 'KernelOops':
...
...
def get_system_
...
else:
if 'DistroRelease' not in self.report:
t = _('Sorry, %s has experienced an internal error.') % self.report[
return t
This is appropriate for an oops, because the UI will appear shortly afterward. But it isn't appropriate for a kernel crash, because Ubuntu will have restarted since the error. In that case, it should instead show the text "Ubuntu has restarted after experiencing an internal error." <https:/
It may save time to fix bug 1043392 at the same time as this bug.
