Crash reporting from Live CDs has not worked for sometime due to squashfs not supporting inotify, which upstart and update-notifier use to notify you of crash reports. The .crash file is created and does exist in /var/crash, its just that nothing tells you about it.
I've just uploaded a new version of casper to Vivid that works around this problem and you should start getting notifications of crash reports from the Live CD / DVDs. Having said that the crash reports won't yet go to Launchpad, but will go to the Ubuntu Error Tracker. You can find the OOPS ID for your crash report in /var/log/upstart/whoopsie.log. It'll look something like this: [17:19:10] Parsing /var/crash/nvidia-331-uvm.0.crash. [17:19:10] Uploading /var/crash/nvidia-331-uvm.0.crash. [17:19:11] Sent; server replied with: No error [17:19:11] Response code: 200 [17:19:11] Reported OOPS ID b447cbe4-615c-11e4-83ed-fa163e78b027 The OOPS ID we see corresponds to the nvidia-331-uvm crash report. It might be worth considering including information about OOPS IDs in the iso testing results. And of course if you notice anything weird about the crash reporting process, please let me know. -- Brian Murray
