✨ ABRT-VMCORE.CONF(5) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about abrt-vmcore.conf — it's the config file for ABRT's VMCore addon, and it's honestly so simple it's giving minimalism. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

/etc/abrt/plugins/vmcore.conf

that's it. that's the whole location. one file, one path, zero drama. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the whole file is just lil lines that look like Option = Value. that's the format, periodt. no nesting, no JSON, no yaml tears, none of that. 🙈

right now? there's literally one option in the entire file. one. single. option. and she's carrying the whole config on her back. 👑

  • CopyVMcore = yes/no — turn this on and the vmcore gets copied from /var/crash into ABRT's problem directory (which lives in /var/spool/abrt by default) instead of being moved there. copy, not move, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

default is yes, bestie, meaning the vmcore gets copied. as in, out of the box, she copies. iconic behavior honestly. 🌸

ngl the copy-vs-move thing is the entire plot of this manpage and I respect the commitment. no cap.
