I'm using Solus 4.0 (in a VM) and trying to make screenshots of "typical" kernel panic output ("BSOD"). The init system in Solus is systemd.



I tried the following commands in the terminal without success:



$ kill -6 1



Doesn't do anything (no echo).



$ sudo kill -SEGV 1



Also does nothing...



$ echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger



Freezes the system but it's not what I need.



Any ideas?



I'd like to see the stack calls and all. It's not about freezing the system with a fork bomb.

If you would like to see stack traces of the threads running on all CPUs you can



# echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger


According to, e.g., Wikipedia this




Shows a stack backtrace for all active CPUs.
