Public bug reported:
apport trunk r2483
If there is a kernel crash or oops, apport-gtk shows the "Ubuntu has
experienced an internal error" message:
elif report_type == 'KernelCrash' or report_type == 'KernelOops':
...
self.w('title_label').set_label('<big><b>%s</b></big>' %
self.get_system_application_title())
...
def get_system_application_title(self):
...
else:
if 'DistroRelease' not in self.report:
self.report.add_os_info()
t = _('Sorry, %s has experienced an internal error.') %
self.report['DistroRelease']
return t
This is appropriate for an oops, because the UI will appear shortly
afterward. But it isn't appropriate for a kernel crash, because Ubuntu
will have restarted since the error. In that case, it should instead
show the text "Ubuntu has restarted after experiencing an internal
error." <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#kernel-crash>
It may save time to fix bug 1043392 at the same time as this bug.

- This is likely to be confusing, because the error occurred in the
- previous Ubuntu session, not this one. It should instead show the text
- "Ubuntu has restarted after experiencing an internal error."
