** Description changed: We would like to have apport modified to report a bug against the backport kernel SRU TEST CASE: - Add the backports PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport - - Try to report a bug against it: ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic-lts-quantal - - Current precise apport will reject it as "not an Ubuntu package"; with this change, it will collect information and present the collected data. + - Try to report a bug against it, with all three variants: + ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic-lts-quantal + ubuntu-bug linux-image-3.5.0-2-generic (adjust version to what is currently in the PPA) + ubuntu-bug linux (if you are actually running that backport kernel) + - Current precise apport will reject it as "not an Ubuntu package"; with this change, it will collect information and present the collected data. The Source package should still be shown as "linux" and the Tags: field should include "qa-kernel-lts-testing" and "precise". REGRESSION POTENTIAL: - The functionality of /etc/apport/native-origins.d/ is covered by apport's test suite, and is being used by other packages as well (e. g. firefox). It is very robust against syntax errors and wrong PPA names, in the worst case bugs still get rejected against backported packages.

But do not actually create the bug report. + - Confirm that "ubuntu-bug linux" (when you are not running the backported kernel) has the precise kernel in the apport data (3.2), and that it still has the hook info (AcpiTables).

If there are syntax or logic errors which cause exceptions, apport will still work, but all information that would have been collected after the hook crashes will be missing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004101 Title: [RFE] Allow Bug Reporting When Running Backport Kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1004101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
