Which command gets udevdb.txt file at launchpad?

  • 772

When I run ubuntu-bug or apport-collect an udevdb.txt file listing all devices is uploaded to Launchpad.

How can I get this file without using Launchpad?

command-line

    The command used by Apport is: udevadm info --export-db

    See the attach_hardware function in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/hookutils.py. It does a bit of anonymisation of partition labels as well, but that's not important if you're just going to analyse the output locally.

  2. I have never used apport-collect but from the man pages you can use apport-cli to get what you want:

    apport-cli [ --save file ]

    Excerpt from man apport-cli:

    --save filename

              In  --file-bug  mode, save the collected information into a file
          instead of reporting it. This file can  then  be  reported  with
          --crash-file later on.

    Usage:

    apport-cli [ --save file ] symptom | pid | package | program path | .apport/.crash file
