The fact that 10-magic-sysrq.conf (which is Ubuntu's preferred default) gets overridden by 50-default.conf is a bug. We should ensure that procps is able to override anything in 50-default.conf.
As a side note: please do not edit any sysctl configurations shipped by packages. Instead, to make your own overrides, ship a config in /etc/sysctl.d, e.g.: $ cat > /etc/sysctl.d/60-my-sysrq.conf << EOF kernel.sysrq = <my value> EOF See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/sysctl.d.html for details. ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Nick Rosbrook (enr0n) ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => High ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Summary changed: - Please add a comment in 10-magic-sysrq.conf that it gets overriden by 50-default.conf + settings defined in 10-magic-sysrq.conf are overriden by 50-default.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2108979 Title: settings defined in 10-magic-sysrq.conf are overriden by 50-default.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/2108979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
