> [Daviey] ... *how* to do it... I thought I'd summarise the mechanism we've proposed here, so it's in one place for others to follow and discuss further if they wish.
1. d-i will prompt for automatic error uploads to errors.ubuntu.com. This will default to Yes. The installer will be able to select No, or preseed this answer. MAAS will be able to use this preseed according to its own global configuration. 2. If enabled above, then there will be no further interaction. Crash reports will automatically be uploaded. We'll log this activity, of course. Perhaps we can even email root if an MTA is detected? 3. If disabled above, then the crash report will sit pending in /var/crash. We will then additionally: a. Note on the motd that there are pending reports. b. Note on the bash prompt that there are pending reports. 4. Eventually, cloud-init will be able to change the setting via cloud-config. This is so that juju environment providers will be able to configure the error reporting settings. Exactly how juju will work with this out of scope of this thread for now. Both notices will include suitable instructions on how to send the reports or remove them. Additionally we can provide information on how to disable the system entirely (/etc/default/apport) or enable automatic submission, so those annoyed by the prompts no longer have to see them. Is this an accurate reflection of what we've discussed in the thread? I'm disappointed that other stakeholders haven't commented. Please do!
