This is a good suggestion Rich! I've looped Dann and Cascardo, both maintainers of kdump-tools to also discuss this subject.
We could have a more explicit message when installing the package, maybe in the same screen that asks if we want to enable kdump by default. I'm against the idea of _not_ setting the default crashkernel though - good suggestion for intermediate/advanced users, bad suggestion for beginners I think. Also, I must say: my experience was pretty reciprocal to yours. The default always worked for me in regular/simple HW or VMs, it fails in more peculiar setups, like 200 PCI devices, 1 TiB of RAM, etc. Thanks for bringing-up the discussion =) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931779 Title: kdump just hung out of the box To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedumpfile/+bug/1931779/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
