Title:
[wishlist] Apport doesn't log when a core dump is ignored because of
the limit
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When ulimit -c is 0, apport doesn't report any reason not to skip the
dumping. For applications that are not packaged, the last message in
/var/log/apport.log is:
ERROR: apport (pid 4415) Mon Nov 25 17:52:11 2013: executable does not belong
to a package, ignoring
This makes very confusing diagnosing why the core was not generated,
and is very hard to track down how the particular ulimit of the
application was configured, so it would be better to add a message
telling the core dump won't be generated because the limit is 0.
Basically the suggested change is:
if limit == '0':
+ error_log('skipping core dump writing, current limit is 0')
return
