Just about the same here on a few generic Ubuntu 12.04.2 VMs (using KVM). Followed the documentation on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/kernel-crash-dump.html which basically says: install linux-crashdump, reboot, check /proc/cmdline, make sure `/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq` is enabled and then "echo c > /proc/sysrq_trigger". This certainly crashes the VM but it just stays crashed: http://i.imgur.com/amCrAZW.png
After forcing a reboot using virt-manager the machine boots fine but /var/crash is empty. No crash dumps, no nothing. What gives? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235616 Title: linux-crashdump doesn't actually dump and reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/1235616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
