Proposal to add friendly kernel panic screen to Fedora |
 |
Fedora contributor José Expósito has put forward a proposal which would cause more information to be displayed when the Linux kernel crashes, an event referred to as a kernel panic. "I'd like to introduce a frontend to improve the user experience when a DRM Panic occurs in Fedora. Let me know what you think and if you'd like to make it part of the Fedora project. DRM Panic is a feature in the Linux kernel that displays a panic screen when a kernel panic occurs. DRM Panic can display a QR code with a trace of the kernel error. By default the raw trace of the kernel error is displayed. While this information is valuable for kernel developers, most users won't understand the meaning of the trace or how to report the issue. To help users understand what happened and how to report the issue, I have been working on a frontend." The new frontend displays a QR code which will open a web page with user-friendly information and then, optionally, can be configured to send a bug report. Details on the proposal and follow-up discussion can be found in this mailing list thread.
