How to disable sending crash logs?

[slothrop]

After a crash, I see a line like this in the SB Radio's logs:

Jan 23 06:58:44 squeezeplay: INFO   applet.CrashLog - CrashLogApplet.lua:43 sending crash log: /root/crashlog.bFso6a sendLog=true

It looks like sending the crash log causes it to be deleted from the device.

I would prefer not to send the log, but to retain it on the device so I can review it. Is there a setting for this that I can configure from the UI?

I can see that in CrashLogApplet.lua, the sending vs retention of the logs is conditioned on a system setting:

function _processLogs(self)
    local settings = self:getSettings()

    for file,queued in pairs(logs) do
        if settings.sendLog == true then
            if queued then
                 _crashLogSend(self, file)
            end
        else
             _crashLogDontSend(self, file)
        end
    end
end​

However I can't see how to change that setting in the UI. Sorry if I'm missing it!

I'm using Squeezebox Radio firmware version 8.0.1-r16907.

I don't think so.

I forget how I originally configured this, there must have been a pop up at some point in the dim, distant past.
Perhaps a manual tweak to the settings might work:

# cat /etc/squeezeplay/userpath/settings/CrashLog.lua
settings = {sendLog=false,}#

Thanks! That, plus a code change in CrashLogApplet.lua, did the trick:

function _crashLogDontSend(self, file)
    log:info("crash log not sending: ", file)
    _doneLog(self, file, false) -- had to change last param from true to false
end​

Thanks for the reminder. I hope you don't get too many crash logs, it would be a shame to fill up the device's flash...

Good point, will need to revert it when I'm done!
