on focal 'ubuntu-bug linux' doesn't automatically collect kernel artifacts

[Seth Arnold]

Hello, on focal I ran 'ubuntu-bug linux' to report a kernel issue. The issue was filed against linux-signed-5.4 (Ubuntu) rather than linux (Ubuntu), and none of the logs usually included with kernel bug reports were included.

After the bug was changed from linux-signed-5.4 to linux, I was prompted to run apport-collect by the kernel team's triagebot and that worked successfully:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1861359/+activity

My guess is that apport needs to be updated to understand a change in kernel packaging.

Thanks

This is actually because the linux source package doesn't reference 5.4.0-12 rather 5.4.0-9.

See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux and 'apt-cache showsrc linux'.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1861446

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

As xnox suggested this morning the issue at hand is a missing symlink. After adding one:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_linux.py /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_linux-signed-5.4.py

apport gathered the correct information.

This should be point at linux-5.4 and not linux-signed-5.4.

Could you elaborate on exactly what should point to what?
