Apologies for not distinguishing between cores and crash reports with embedded cores.
Let me step back. If a process dies with SIGABRT, I'm looking for either (1) the core file in a well-known location or (2) apport invoking a package-hook and we can get at the core through that. As I understand, your patch enables (1); to get (2), we need both this patch and to install via a package that provides a package-hook. Will your patch also allow SIGABRT-generated reports to reach (2)? (VMware is at (1) now, but would like to reach (2)). >From apport sources, it looks like (1) would be CWD/core or CWD/core.PID (depending on the core_uses_pid setting). -- apport ignores SIGABRT-generated cores https://launchpad.net/bugs/92029 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
