The sysrq mechanism allows someone with physical access to the system to
easily cause it to boot by just pressing some keys. That's why the sysrq
default allows only very few commands to be issued. kdump is for real
crashes. kdump testing may require using the sysrq-trigger mechanism,
but that could just as well write to /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq before
causing the crash. In fact, that's just what kdump-tools autopkgtest
does.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
So, not a bug here.

when i enable in /etc/sysctl.conf it works . i append below value in
sysctl.conf
echo "kernel.sysrq = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
I think this is should be enable by default in ubuntu 18.10 as
earlier ubuntu distro it has , not sure why it got removed as kdump
mechanism require this .
Praveen
