Crash reports

FAQ › EUZOS Desktop › Crash reports · Nederlands

What is it?

When a program, a Chromium process or EUZOS itself crashes, EUZOS makes a short report and asks whether you want to send it to EUZOS. It is off until you agree.

Does it block me?

No. The question is a notice in the corner; other windows keep working. If you ignore it the report is kept and the notice stays in the notification center. After a kernel panic or a power loss the question comes after you sign in at the next start.

What is in the report?

The version, edition, processor name, PCI hardware IDs, which program crashed (from a fixed list), the signal or exception. Never file names, user names, memory contents or addresses. crashreports show prints exactly what would be sent.

Wi-Fi outages

If the Wi-Fi was gone for 10 seconds or more, or the access point dropped you, EUZOS can make a report too (kind wifi-outage): chip ID, firmware number, band and channel, how long, why, and frame counts. Never the network name, a MAC address or an IP address. It uses your choice above; the question appears at most once a day, other outages are only kept quietly, and with "never" nothing is kept.

How do I change my choice?

crashreports ask (default), crashreports always or crashreports never. crashreports clear forgets waiting reports. An organisation can switch the whole feature off with an update (feature crash-reports).
