Community meeting on IRC 24th November 2022

  • Name/IRC nick: thigg
  • Topic: log persistence/ easing gathering logs
  • Some details about the topic:
    Journalctl Logs are rolled over quite quickly in SFOS.
    It is likely that some bug reports are struggling to collect logs because when the person is back home and thinks about getting those logs, they are gone already (example).
    It might be helpful to collect logs for a longer period of time (e.g. one week)?
    They still might forget this, thus maybe we could add a userfriendly button somewhere to save the whole journal with a dedicated name? (Maybe even able to select a broad category, e.g. bug with connection, in browser,…)
    That way the gathering of logs would take ~30 seconds for the user and it is way more likely they do it.
  • Approx. time needed: 10
  • Substitute (optional): if i am not there, discuss without me. Maybe @attah is interested as well.
