something different? Where does it write its trace?

Run ulimit -a and see if you have core files set to 0 or unlimited.



$ gdb application core.Xorg

gdb> bt full

Send this & logs in the bug report.

You want to run gdb against the core and run bt full for a full backtrace and include that along with the logs for your report.

ulimit -a gives me:

Other than that, I do not understand your instructions... For my case where the 'application' crashing is the Xserver, how will I run gdb on it?

You need to enable core files.

In a console:
1. ulimit -c unlimited

4. gdb /usr/bin/Xorg /path/to/core
5. bt full
6. Send that in a bug report.

Justin.

2. then reproduce the problem in that console (it should generate a core file) 3. find / -type f | grep -i core (it is normally in the directory where you run the program)

sorry for my ignorance...

Sorry to bother you again (maybe this advanced stuff should be left to the advanced users but I would like to help with this bug...), but the second step troubles me. This thread goes about the xserver crashing when the user is logging out of X. So, how should I do it? How should I start the xserver from a console (not in X), so that when it crashes it leaves a core file?
