First you should give the following information:
|
|
|
|
|
- irssi version, if CVS (or devel. tarball) then which day?
|
|
|
|
|
- operating system / distribution and it's version
|
|
|
|
|
- when did it crash? did you do something? can you reproduce the crash?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Getting backtrace of the crash also helps a lot, especially if irssi crashes
|
|
|
|
|
randomly. If after crash you see text:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"segmentation fault (core dumped)"
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-09-06 10:44:40 -04:00
|
|
|
It writes a file named "core" or "irssi.core" depending on your OS to
|
|
|
|
|
directory where you started irssi. If it doesn't print the "(core dumped)"
|
|
|
|
|
or you can't find the core file, you'll have to raise the limit for max.
|
|
|
|
|
core file size before running irssi. To do this, say:
|
2001-05-31 16:41:27 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ulimit -c unlimited
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, if you have the core file and GNU debugger (gdb), you can get the
|
|
|
|
|
backtrace with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gdb irssi core
|
2009-01-23 12:48:32 -05:00
|
|
|
set logging file bt.log
|
|
|
|
|
set logging on
|
2001-05-31 16:41:27 -04:00
|
|
|
bt
|
2009-01-23 12:48:32 -05:00
|
|
|
set logging off
|
|
|
|
|
quit
|
2001-05-31 16:41:27 -04:00
|
|
|
|
2009-01-23 12:48:32 -05:00
|
|
|
Provide the bt.log file.
