| brendand | anyone else noticing that nm-applet isn't showing anything all of a sudden? | 16:00 |

| * komputes just posted http://askubuntu.com/questions/63796/how-do-i-view-coredump-file | 19:11 | |
| hggdh | komputes: what do you think of my answer? | 19:28 |
| pedro_ | komputes, hggdh and you can 'view' it with gdb | 19:29 |
| hggdh | pedro_: yeah, I was just adding it -- forgot :-( | 19:29 |
| * komputes is looking | 19:29 | |
| komputes | pedro_: gdb reports Coredump is not an executable format: file format not recognized | 19:32 |
| hggdh | komputes: if the coredump is compressed, you have to uncompress it | 19:34 |
| pedro_ | you need to uncompress it | 19:34 |
| komputes | hggdh: you uncompress it from the gz file then... | 19:34 |
| hggdh | komputes: gzip -d comdump.gz | 19:35 |
| komputes | done | 19:35 |
| pedro_ | gdb --core=file | 19:35 |
| komputes | ok, here we go | 19:35 |
| * hggdh waits for the complaint of "I only see ???" | 19:35 | |
| komputes | I only see 2 lines (woth 2.4MB for this) | 19:36 |
| komputes | hggdh: ;) | 19:36 |
| hggdh | komputes: can you pastebin it? | 19:36 |
| pedro_ | then the coredump is no use :-) | 19:37 |
| komputes | hggdh: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/700039 | 19:37 |
| pedro_ | komputes, 'back' | 19:37 |
| pedro_ | gdb is not going to show you anything automatically | 19:38 |
| komputes | pedro_: interesting, go on | 19:38 |
| * komputes listens attentively | 19:38 | |
| hggdh | also, consider a 't a a bt' | 19:38 |
| komputes | hggdh: and now in english :) | 19:38 |
| hggdh | thread apply all bt | 19:39 |
| komputes | hggdh: you want me to type this in the gdb command line? | 19:39 |
| hggdh | yes | 19:39 |
| komputes | oooOOOooo memory addresses | 19:39 |
| hggdh | not really, stack *frames* | 19:40 |
| hggdh | give it the correct name, and it will answer your calls | 19:40 |
| * komputes wants to learn more | 19:42 | |
| komputes | so can you grep/search the binary file from the gdb command line? | 19:43 |
| hggdh | well. Reading stacktraces (or, in gdb parlance, backtraces) is quite simple. Following the code, and figuring out what happened is not as easy | 19:43 |
| hggdh | komputes: I am not sure I understand your question | 19:43 |
| hggdh | no | 19:43 |
| komputes | Should we expand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage/ to include some guideline on how to review the stacktrace? | 19:44 |
| hggdh | I *am* sure I do not understand | 19:44 |
| hggdh | there is something there, I added a long time ago... | 19:44 |
| * hggdh goes looking for it | 19:44 | |
| komputes | This would make for a GREAT bugsquad screencast!!! | 19:44 |
| hggdh | komputes: start here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash | 19:45 |
| komputes | I ran help and saw nothing about 'threads' (the command you told me to use) there are classes such as aliases, breakpoints, data, files, internals... etc. | 19:45 |
| hggdh | gdb is a large beast... | 19:46 |
| hggdh | komputes: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/ | 19:47 |
| jtaylor | the command is thread not threads | 19:48 |
| komputes | I'll start a readin'. But if there are any common gdb commands you use, please let me know. This Q&A session has been very helpful to me. | 19:48 |
| hggdh | jtaylor: thank you, my mistake | 19:48 |
| komputes | jtaylor: correct | 19:48 |
| jtaylor | print next frame break backtrace are the most important | 19:48 |
| jtaylor | you can do a lot with these few | 19:48 |
| hggdh | yeah | 19:48 |
| komputes | thanks for helping me understand hggdh pedro and stgraber | 19:52 |
| hggdh | you meant jtaylor, right? :-) | 19:52 |
| hggdh | komputes: there is still a long and winding road ahead of you... but it will be fun | 19:53 |
| jtaylor | gdb is a nice application but lots to learn | 19:53 |
| komputes | hggdh: looking forward to getting more comfortable with the more complicated site of QA work | 19:54 |
| jtaylor | a week ago I learned how to do remote debugging because my armel chroot did not support ptrace :) | 19:54 |
| hggdh | heh. Last time I did a remote gdb was so long ago I do not remember anything anymore | 19:54 |
| hggdh | komputes: now, debugging programs is not quite in the QA arena, more on the programming/support | 19:55 |
| roadmr | komputes: google "gdb tutorial", some nice stuff there to get you started | 19:57 |
| roadmr | I specially like the RMS tutorial heh | 19:57 |
| hggdh | komputes: finally, see http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/refcard.pdf.gz for a carry-with-you | 20:03 |
| komputes | hggdh: printing it now | 20:04 |
| golfromeo | hello, I am testing day-to-day updates of 11.10. Since a couple of days, after a huge update (xorg?) I can no longer use the thinkpad (I guess tpb program) special keys to change the LCD screen brightness as well as the sound volume. I guess it has started since beta 2 (and later updates). The laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad edge produced in July 2011 Intel P6100 based. What do I do first ? download a nightly CD and reinstall over the c | 20:35 |
| golfromeo | good bye ! | 21:00 |
| bdmurray | Is Launchpad timing out for anyone? | 22:15 |
| * penguin42 got one a little while ago - let me try | 23:03 | |
| penguin42 | worked just then | 23:04 |
