Core dumps aren't going to work because I think our core dumping code is busted (see the definition of the Panic_Panic if you're curious).
Travis or Martin: could one of you reproduce this crash within gdb and use symbols to get a more meaningful backtrace? I'm not sure if Ubuntu's vmware-guestd binary is stripped; if it is, you may you need to rebuild vmware-guestd to get a build with embedded symbols. Assuming you have an unstripped vmware-guestd binary, it should just be a matter of 1) running 'gdb vmware-guestd', 2) setting up a breakpoint somewhere in Panic(), 3) 'run', 4) when gdb hits the breakpoint, 'bt' to get the full backtrace. It would be nice to also navigate up the stack to the caller of the Str_ function that panicked and see exactly what line that took place on, and why. -- vmware-guestd crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
