Ignore specific program's crashes in apport
apport
has blacklist feature which I just noticed by dpkg -L apport | grep etc
.
# Blacklist for apport # If an executable path appears on any line in any file in # /etc/apport/blacklist.d/, apport will not generate a crash report # for it. Matches are exact only at the moment (no globbing etc.).
source: /etc/apport/blacklist.d/README.blacklist
There are already some examples in /etc/apport/blacklist.d/
like wine
, firefox
& thunderbird
because all have their own crash handler (direct upstream report).
- So just create a new file in
/etc/apport/blacklist.d/
. - Put the absolute path of the executable in it.
