Bug Description
Binary package hint: kerneloops
Hi,
We disable apport on stable releases, but currently kerneloops still runs, which
causes apport to pop up with reports of kernel issues. We should therefore prevent
kerneloops from running as well.
Impact: prompts for kernel issues that will take a while to fix, or may not be fixed due to it being a stable release. Made worse by kerneloops not being particularly good about avoiding prompting multiple times for the same issue.
Fix for Lucid: shouldn't be changed there as it is the development branch. Will ship the defaults file though, just
with the default changed.
Patch is http://
TEST CASE:
1. Boot a karmic system, note that there is a kerneloops process running.
2. Install the updated package.
3. Note that there is no longer a kerneloops process running.
4. Reboot, there should still be no kerneloops process running.
Regression potential: Should be very low in terms of the actual changes. Anyone that wants it running for whatever reason is going to have to edit the defaults file.
Thanks,
James
