Subject: "kernel version not supported" message is causing concerns
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 15:29:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <57C58A20.7000704@canonical.com> (raw)
Hello,
Every so often, I get questions or bug report about the fact that makedumpfile
issues the following message when running :
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
While I understand the requirement for this message, it almost systematically is
understood by users as "makedumpfile is broken".
I would like to discuss the opportunity of changing the wording of this message
so it appears less confusing. Maybe something like :
Warning: makedumpfile has not been tested on this version of the kernel.
If the created dumpfile is incomplete, you may need to upgrade to a
newer version of makedumpfile.
I would be happy to propose a pull request for such a change if accepted.
Kind regards,
...Louis
