This document describes how to install debug packages for seahorse on Ubuntu, which will aid in providing information for bugs.

Feisty Fawn 7.04, Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 and Hardy Heron 8.04

Use this section only if you are using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04, Gutsy 7.10 or Hardy 8.04 Intrepid 8.10.

1. Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list: (of course, replace hardy with the version you are using.)

• deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy main universe
  deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-updates main universe
  deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed main universe
  deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com hardy-security main universe

You may also add these lines using the Synaptic Package Manager:

a. Choose Synaptic via the System > Administration menu.

b. Choose Software Sources via the Settings menu, and click on the Third-Party Software tab.

c. Click the Add button and enter each deb ... line as above one by one and click the Add Source button (you will have to add these lines one at a time).

d. Click the Reload button once you are done adding all the deb lines.

2. Then run

• sudo apt-get update

to update your package list.

3. Install the debugging-packages needed for seahorse:

• sudo apt-get install seahorse-dbgsym libc6-dbg libglib2.0-0-dbg libgtk2.0-0-dbg libsoup2.4-1-dbgsym libglade2-0-dbgsym

4. Now start seahorse using gdb:

• G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals gdb seahorse 2>&1 | tee gdb-seahorse.txt
  (gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint
  (gdb) set pagination 0
  (gdb) run <arguments, if any>

5. Reproduce the crash. When it crashes, issue these commands:

• (gdb) backtrace full
  (gdb) info registers
  (gdb) thread apply all backtrace
  (gdb) quit

6. Now you can attach the file gdb-seahorse.txt to your bugreport.
