💖 ABRT-OOPS.CONF 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about abrt-oops.conf — aka the configuration file for ABRT's Kernel Oops extractor. yes she's a man page girlie, section 5, and she's literally the blueprint for how ABRT handles your kernel going "oops 🙈". no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/etc/abrt/plugins/oops.conf

that's it. that's the whole path. she lives at /etc/abrt/plugins/oops.conf and she's lowkey iconic for it. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the file is built out of little items, and every item is formatted like this, exactly like this, no improvising:

Option = Value

and these are the items she recognizes (yes, recognized, like she knows them, they're her friends):

  • DropNotReportableOopses = yes/no — turn this on and ABRT will preserve only reportable oopses. it's giving "if it's not gonna be reported, why are we keeping it" energy. 💅
Default is no — keep all oopses. all of them. every single one. she's a collector fr fr.
  • OnlyFatalMCE = yes/no — okay so here's the tea: a lot of Machine Check Exceptions can be corrected, which means users lowkey don't care about them. and on top of that, some hardware just produces MCEs by design — like it's their whole personality. enabling this option configures ABRT to detect only the fatal MCEs. main character MCEs only. 👑
Default is no — detect all MCEs. the whole roster. 🌈
