By default systemd will store core dumps in its journal, being accessible with the coredumpctl command. Defined in the core_pattern-file: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %p %u %g %s %t %e This behaviour can be disabled with a simple "hack": $ ln -s /dev/null /etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf $ sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern=core # or just reboot As always, the size of core dumps has to be equal or higher than the size of the core that is being dumped, as done by for example ulimit -c unlimited. man systemd-coredump /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf kernel.core_pattern man coredump.conf /etc/systemd/coredump.conf /etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d/*.conf /run/systemd/coredump.conf.d/*.conf /usr/lib/systemd/coredump.conf.d/*.conf https://freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/coredump.conf.html 2021 https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2021/09/18/creating-quality-backtraces-for-crash-reports/ !!! need to read
