Title:
settings defined in 10-magic-sysrq.conf are overriden by
50-default.conf
Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Description of the problem
In Ubuntu 24.10 it was sufficient to edit /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf
to override the default sysrq enablement mask at boot. In Ubuntu 25.04 doing
this no longer works because any kernel.sysrq value set in that file is
overridden by the value in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf . Here's the
relevant snippet of 50-default.conf :
# System Request functionality of the kernel (SYNC)
#
# Use kernel.sysrq = 1 to allow all keys.
# See https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/sysrq.html for a list
# of values and keys.
kernel.sysrq = 0x01b6
(when running "cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq" or "sysctl kernel.sysrq"
the value will be reported as 438 which can make finding the file
setting it more difficult)
It would be useful if there was a comment in /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-
sysrq.conf hinting that the sysrq value is also set in
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf or for /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-
sysrq.conf not to be made by default as it is misleading.
