Reporting Bugs

Johannes H. Jensen edited this page Mar 23, 2017 · 1 revision

When reporting a bug, please follow these guidelines:

Include debugging output from the program. To obtain this, the applet needs to be started from a terminal. Open a terminal and type (without the $'s):

$ killall alarm-clock-applet
$ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all alarm-clock-applet

If you're reporting a crash, please also include a GDB backtrace. This can be obtained by launching alarm-clock-applet from GDB - instead of typing 'alarm-clock-applet' as above, do the following:

$ gdb alarm-clock-applet
(gdb) run

Then repeat what you did to cause the crash. Once it crashes, switch to your terminal and type 'bt':

(gdb) bt

Then paste the output into the bug report.
