Comment 1 Tino Engel 2011-09-14 11:15:12 UTC
A free DynDNS alternative might help to have my dynamic IP resolved. I would like to avoid DynDNS due to its limitation of being free for only 10 years.
Anyone can recommend me a completely free dynamic DNS service to check if the solution is valid?
So far, the MAC address of the eth0 interface used for internet connectivity on my side is 00:26:B9:6F:ED:3E.

Comment 2 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-09-14 12:00:13 UTC
"Couldn't resolve host name" means that it couldn't resolve the name kerneloops.org not yours. This can be caused by multiple reasons like: your dns service is down, your internet connectivity was broken, etc... can you please try to report it again with some reliable internet connection?

Comment 3 Tino Engel 2011-09-14 12:45:47 UTC
Dear Mr. Moskovcak,

Reporting may take some time.

Actually the kernel acts very unstable on trying to produce a trace as follows:
1. dig kerneloops.org
2. report using abtr-gui
3. dig kerneloops.org

What I already could see, is that dig for kerneloops.org changes in column 2 of answer section (is it TTL?).
But it really seams that my system can stablely resolve kerneloops.org.

Strangely having a full duplex rap session with JACK and 5.33ms latency on the M17xR1 integrate Nvidia HD audio runs way more stable (probably due to Planet CCRMA Kernel ;-)).

But at a first glance the M-Net internet connection (Starnberg near Munich) is way more stable than the kernel.

Maybe it is a problem my Gnome shows UTC (12:43) instead of local time although the time zone is configured in Gnome?

Kind regards, Tino Engel

Comment 5 Tino Engel 2011-09-14 13:41:27 UTC
3 additional comments:

1. The kernel crashes I am experiencing currently seem to be related to the (bugzilla.redhat.com) text-box I am writing into right now. I am using current FC14 nouveau driver. After kernel crash X is totally dead except the mouse, which is still working.

2. [elgrande@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.13-149.rt31.2.fc14.ccrma.x86_64.rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Wed May 11 19:14:10 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[elgrande@localhost ~]$ 

3. The manual trace I have submitted at 2011-09-14 09:22:34 EDT should contain o
nly 1 'dig kerneloops.org' before and 1 'dig kerneloops.org' after abtr-gui. Str
angely 3 additional dig dumps now occur within the entry.

Comment 6 Tino Engel 2011-09-14 20:00:19 UTC
Tried to remove duplicate needinfo flag, but couldn't. This 2 updates can be ignored.

I have the same problem regarding "Kernel oops has not been sent due to Couldn't resolve host name".  I do not have a DNS resolution problem:

Comment 9 Vinod Kutty 2011-09-30 00:47:52 UTC
Experiencing the same issue with the uninformative abrt-gui error "Kernel oops has not been sent due to Couldn't resolve host name".

Quick strace suggests that it may be 'submit.kerneloops.org' / 'oops.kernel.org' that is having resolution issues (but kerneloops.org is fine).

This is a recent issue. Resolution failed for me from multiple network locations.

- indeed kerneloops.org seems to have some troubles, right now (8:25 CET) I can't open the page or ping it. I think it's not problem on abrt side - except the message should say "Connection timed out" rather than "Cannot resolve the hostname", but this message probably comes from underlying libcurl. Please report all the oopses to Red Hat Bugzilla before the problem is fixed (which is the preferred option since F15 anyway).

Comment 11 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-10-10 14:13:45 UTC
I'm going to close this bug as I'm convinced that it's a problem on the kerneloops.org. Please you red hat bugzilla to submit any further oopses.
