Okay.. Clearly the documentation is a bit lacking so lets try creating on our own.
sudo gdb nautilus 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-nautilus.txt .. should produce "Reading symbols from /usr/bin/nautilus...(no debugging symbols found)...done." Now type "quit" then press RETURN or ENTER so we exit gdb. Now try this: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nautilus-dbg sudo apt-get install libgnome-desktop* sudo killall nautilus sudo gdb nautilus 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-nautilus.txt You should see gdb load and it finds the debug symbols: "Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/nautilus...done. (gdb) " Now.. from the gdb prompt.. (gdb) exec-file /usr/bin/nautilus (gdb) symbol-file /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/nautilus Load new symbol table from "/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/nautilus"? (y or n) y Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/nautilus...done. (gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description SIG33 No No Yes Real-time event 33 (gdb) set pagination 0 (gdb) run Nautilus should load. Leave it open for a bit and confirm it is still growing in size. At some point close the window. Then hold down the CTRL button and press C to terminate gdb debugging because it will probably fail to terminate on its own. (Make sure you are inside the gdb terminal window when you press CTRL-C). You should see something like.. Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x00b54422 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) Now.. (gdb) backtrace full (gdb) info registers (gdb) x/16i $pc (gdb) thread apply all backtrace (gdb) quit A debugging session is active. Inferior 1 [process 8089] will be killed. Quit anyway? (y or n) y Once this is done you should attach the resulting gdb-nautilus.txt. Hopefully that will be everything we need.
