2012-09-17 10:07:10 Matthew Paul Thomas summary Kernel crash/oops shows confusing UI text Kernel crash shows confusing UI text
2012-09-17 10:07:10 Matthew Paul Thomas 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': ... self.w('title_label').set_label('<big><b>%s</b></big>' % self.get_system_application_title()) ... def get_system_application_title(self): ... else: if 'DistroRelease' not in self.report: self.report.add_os_info() t = _('Sorry, %s has experienced an internal error.') % self.report['DistroRelease'] return t This is likely to be confusing, because the error occurred in the previous Ubuntu session, not this one. It should instead show the text "Ubuntu has restarted after experiencing an internal error." <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#kernel-oops> It may save time to fix bug 1043392 at the same time as this bug. 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': ... self.w('title_label').set_label('<big><b>%s</b></big>' % self.get_system_application_title()) ... def get_system_application_title(self): ... else: if 'DistroRelease' not in self.report: self.report.add_os_info() t = _('Sorry, %s has experienced an internal error.') % self.report['DistroRelease'] 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://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#kernel-oops> It may save time to fix bug 1043392 at the same time as this bug.
