I just had a hard lock-up crash not even a Alt + Shift + SysRq + R + S + E + I + U + B could solve. I've now rebooted and would like to report the bug with the saved logs.
What's the best way to report it?
If something you did triggered the freeze use Apport and trigger the freeze again. Apport will detect it automatically and you should be able to file a bug-report.
This is an excerpt from Debugging System Crashes
- If your system crashes at random
intervals, perform a MemoryTest first
before filing any bug reports or
support requests If your system crashes when a
particular action occurs, and this is
repeatable every time, try the
following steps:- Try to reproduce the crash on a text
console (Control+Alt+F1) if
possible. If the crash occurs during
startup, select the recovery mode
option to disable the splash screen - When the crash occurs, press
Alt+SysRq+1 (one, not L) followed by
Alt+SysRq+t. If using a text
console, you should see a trace
dumped to the screen. If the system
is sufficiently alive, it will also
be logged to /var/log/kern.log and
visible in the output from dmesg.
This information shows where the
crash occurred, and should be
included in any problem reports. If
the output is not saved in any file,
or the system is so bad off that you
cannot retrieve it, you can either
take a digital photo, or hand write
the results. Almost all of the
output is important (so please don't
copy the one line you think is
important, because context means
everything).
