I think this database would be just plain awesome! Some thoughts from the peanut gallery: I frequently don't submit crashes to launchpad because #1 I don't have time, or #2 am lacking an Internet connection at the time, so.... * If the system is configured to "report statistical data" in software sources can we assume that it's alright to collect crash data too? (#1) * If it wasn't selected during install, perhaps we can ask after the first crash. * we could save the apport crash reports into a directory so that when an internet connection is detected, a queue of crash reports can be uploaded at once. (#2) I think the whole thing should be as automatic as possible to get the most complete record of crashes as possible. ~Dereck “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” - Michelangelo <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 8, 2011 at 11:44 AM, Ted Gould <<a href="mailto:ted@ubuntu.com">ted@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> On Fri, 2011-10-07 at 15:39 -0700, Bryce Harrington wrote: > For Precise, I don't think we want to try to undertake implementation, > but it would be nice to get the design more fleshed out and perhaps do a > proof of concept implementation. Is that decided? I was really hoping that we could get this for P as being able to keep crash reporting on after release would really help with successive LTS minor versions. Is there a way we could simplify the server side (just make it a generic frontend for Launchpad) to make the desktop side a reasonable deliverable for P? --Ted -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop</a> </blockquote></div>
