Debugging QuiteRSS
This is a guide for getting debug information if you can reproduce a crash or a lockup of QuiteRSS. It is for Linux/Unix only (yet). See also the distro-specific documentation:
Use your package manager to install gdb.
The debug symbols for QuiteRSS should reside in your clone of the git repository or the folder you expanded the .zip/.tar.gz file to. You will have to install the debug symbols for dependencies of QuiteRSS from your package manager.
To install the debug symbols, use your system package manager:
On Fedora 22 and newer, run dnf debuginfo-install quiterss. This should also work on most recent versions of CentOS and RHEL.
On Fedora 21 and older, run debuginfo-install quiterss. This should also work on most versions of CentOS and RHEL.
For other distributions check the links above.
- Open a terminal (non-root) and run
gdb quiterss. You will see gdb loading debug symbols. If some are missing, it will tell you which packages you have to install, see previous step for how to do that. - In gdb, type
runand confirm with theEnterkey to start quiterss. - Use QuiteRSS until you can reproduce your crash or freeze.
- If QuiteRSS freezes: go to the terminal and press
Ctrl+Cto interrupt the quiterss process - In gdb, type
set logging file /path/to/filenameto create a logfile in/path/to/filename - In gdb, type
set logging onto start logging - In gdb, run
t a a bt full(optional long version:thread apply all backtrace full) to get a backtrace of all threads - In gdb, type
set logging offto stop logging - In gdb, type
quitto quit gdb
Now you will have a logfile /path/to/filename which should contain some information to help fix your issue. Please check it for sensitive data (passwords, username, hostname, whatever information you won't tell everybody) and attach it to an issue.
