I am about to push the package in subject to repositories. The aim of cookbug is to collect logs and hardware info on behalf of user.
How it works (sudo or su, whatever you like most): $ sudo cookbug PLEASE NOTE: no personal information is collected, but... ...we are not responsible for what apps write in logs !! However, it is suggested to review the produced tar file. Collecting Hardware details useful for hunting your bug... Getting: CPU Information Getting: Memory Information Getting: PCI Hardware Devices (extended) Getting: Kernel Boot Line Getting: Registered Network Cards Getting: Filesystem Mountpoints Getting: GRUB2 Configuration Getting: System Logger messages Getting: USB Hardware Devices Getting: Kernel Version and Architecture Getting: X.Org Logs (current) Getting: Latest Kernel messages Getting: Filesystems Information Getting: PCI Hardware Devices (simple) Getting: Kernel Modules Getting: X.Org Logs (old) Getting: Desktop Environment startup messages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your bug report is available at: /tmp/cookbug.report.isPavu.tar.bz2 Users must then send the file to us or attach it to bug reports. At some point in future I'm going to accept hardware related bug reports only by people submitting their cookbug report. No report, no party. Another tiny app I'm going to release sooner or later is "sendbug", which is going to couple with cookbug making possible to directly submit reports to Bugzilla bugs. Enjoy cookbug, -- Fabio Erculiani
