neighborlee Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hi there.. I am just wondering,,as ubuntu and windows have, does mandriva have ( or is planned if not ) a crash handler that makes it easy to deal with crashes and sends in the crash report in the process or at least makes it easy for people ( especially someone not incredibly puter liberate ) to do so ? cheers nl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Mandriva already has a crashandler called drakbug. You can see it if any of the drakxtools is crashing. Otherwise the KDE and GNOME has its own crashandler AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 KDE has an embedded UI which collects the output of the gdb debugger whenever an application is crashing. To enable it you just have to urpmi gdb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neighborlee Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Mandriva already has a crashandler called drakbug. You can see it if any of the drakxtools is crashing. Otherwise the KDE and GNOME has its own crashandler AFAIK. ah ok I didnt know about drakxtools, whatever that is :)/...but anyway yes gnome has some util that sends in a error report from a crash , and while ive seen kde do something similar usuallly it gives those 'no debug symbols found' error so I wasn't sure .... to other poster: gdb is for manually getting a debug session , but I was looking for the automated crash handler that does what both windows, and now gnome does where it actually takes over and sends in report instead of user having to wade through a confusing bugzilla site ;) thx nl ;) Edited September 30, 2007 by neighborlee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Drakxtools are the configuration utilities of Mandriva Linux. The programs in the Mandriva Control Center (software installer, hardware configurator etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
