Oliver, the kernel itself logs the crashes to dmesg. I just tried this here:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apport stop $ gnome-session-remove gnome-panel $ ulimit -c unlimited $ gnome-panel # now do "killall -SEGV gnome-panel" in another terminal Segmentation fault It does not say "(core dumped)", thus gnome-panel crashed without triggering a core dump, and thus apport is never called. ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: apport => gnome-panel Status: Incomplete => New -- gnome-panel crashes are not reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
