Kerneloops claims it sent an oops report when there was no Internet connection
Last modified: 2011-12-13 17:28:58 EST
Description of problem: Terminating a mobile broadband (aircard) connection occasionally generates a kernel oops. That isn't the problem. Rather, I was prompted if I wanted to send in a report; I said yes, and /var/log/messages reported: Jul 8 23:42:48 mars kerneloops: Submitted 1 kernel oopses to www.kerneloops.org However, at that time the Internet connection was down; there is no possible way that it could have contacted kerneloops.org, and there is no indication (e.g. "mailq") that it queued up the report for later delivery. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kerneloops-0.12-5.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always, when no Internet connection and a kernel oops occurs (happened 3 times so far) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure no Internet connection is up 2. Generate a kernel oops (somehow!) 3. Watch as it claims to have sent it. Actual results: Claims to have sent it to kerneloops.org, even when it couldn't have Expected results: Either reports that it failed to send, or that it queued it for sending later. Additional info:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
