[ros-dev] Making bluescreens more useful

[Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO]

Hi,

 

We use graphics already, via Inbv & bootvid calls. The same mode the ReactOS boot logo uses J

So this is definitively possible.

Of course we should also check whether the output is not done via headless instead, in which case of course there’s no need for the QR but instead one could just dump what the QR encodes directly on the terminal.

 

Hermès.

Wouldn't the QR-enabled BSOD require us to draw the bsod screen in a graphics mode rather than text?

Or are we using a graphics mode already?

I like it. I recently thought about another possibility to make the BSOD more useful: A QR code.
A QR code can contain up to almost 3 KB of arbitrary data or 4 KB text.

Here's a quick example (1425 characters)
Try it out, use your phone and scan it :)

We often get bug reports with just a screenshot of a bluescreen; we then
go ahead and tell people that bluescreens are basically useless, they
should get a debug log and a backtrace, and also remember to tell us
what version they're using.
 
Since there's actually no reason why bluescreens need to be useless, I
thought I'd try to change that.
I've attached an example. The source for this quick PoC can be found at

Thoughts?
