Tomasz Paweł Gajc (TPG) annouced today in development mailing list that he created a simple shell script that will help in bug fixing process. It is called omv-bug-report.

You can install it through rpmdrake, or by running

urpmi omv-bug-report

The script location will then be /usr/bin/omv-bug-report.sh

Launching omv-bug-report.sh from a terminal will gather informations from:

  1. various configuration files (in /etc/*)
  2. various /proc entries (which let know informations about kernel configuration)
  3. grub configuration (the boot program)
  4. lspcidrake output (for PCI devices listing)
  5. lsusb output (for USB devices listing)
  6. dmidecode output (to get informations about hardware from the BIOS)
  7. systemctl –failed (to report systems or services that failed to be started)
  8. journalctl -b (for showing log of current boot)
  9. rpm -qa (for listing installed packages)
  10. gcc version (for the version of the compiler)

Then all will be packed into an archive omv-bug-report.log.xz. This file should be attached to any bugreport. It will help speed up the work of bugsquasher, and simplify the work of the bugreporter by quickly providing detailed information.

Quoting TPG:

I’ve spec a few minutes on this and adapted nvidia-bug-report.sh to OMV specific environment. Feel free to adjust it more.
