I know that people make mistakes as I just made a stupid one myself. To me, Steve's email sounded as if it was intentional due to the highlighted "should" which I misunderstood as a "must". I know now that I completely missed the point of the message.

Sorry for that. However, I can confirm that the option sticks after making the system writable. Actually, after remounting / as ro again, the option can no longer be switched on (consistent which what's decribed in the above thread). > I was responding to the suggestion that the behavior should somehow be > dependent on whether the device is connected to wifi at the time of > the crash. That's just wrong. I completely agree. The data should either be collected or not at all, irrespective of the current network connectivity. > While the shell can't do anything with the crashed app until the crash > handler has finished, that *shouldn't* mean that it prevents the shell > from, e.g., switching apps.

While that may be true, there has to be an option to switch off such crash collection permanently or temporarily. This must not be enforced on the user, which is the way it is right now, if I understood all this correctly. Not only because some people might not feel comfortable with this informationbeing sent before they can review it. > The trouble is that, until the crash handler has finished consuming the core > file from the kernel and exited, the original process is blocked.

To me, this is just all the more reason to have an option to disable it, maybe only for a day or a couple. Imagine being somewhere and urgently needing your phone which then hangs because some crash logs are being collected? The app that crashed might not even be the one you urgently need. Crash collection should, imho, not take precedence over the dialog to accept a call as this is still the main functionaly of a phone, at least for me.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1459767] [NEW] No calendar/reminder notifications showing on Ubuntu Touch
Public bug reported: Calendar events show no notification which makes them really easy to miss. Only a heads-up notification is shown which also vanishes after a short time. What I expected to happen: -set a reminder via "Reminder" or "Calender" app -an alarm goes off at the set time -a notification will be visible in the notification area stating time, date and title of the calendar event What happened instead: -set a reminder via "Reminder" or "Calender" app -an alarm goes off at the set time -no notification is shown DistroRelease: Ubuntu Touch r22 Device: BQ Aquaris e4.5 Package: indicator-datetime 13.10.0+15.04.20150318~rtm-0ubuntu1 Uname: Linux 3.4.67 armv7l ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: armhf Date: Fri Dec 12 08:59:10 2014 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (development branch) - armhf (20150508-031218) ** Affects: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1459767 Title: No calendar/reminder notifications showing on Ubuntu Touch Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Calendar events show no notification which makes them really easy to miss.
