[opensuse-kde] disabling crash handler
Hi, I have a very annoying problem. Some programs (notably amarok and kactivitymanagerd) crash. But when I start them from the command line, with -- nocrashhandler to capture a core so I can debug the crashes, they don't crash anymore. Is there any way to disable the crash handler globally in kde? I want the cores so I can debug the crashes.

Hmmm, no expert on this, but have a look at "kdebugdialog" esp. with the "--fullmode" option. Anyone else some idea? - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hm, I don't see anything in there. It looks like it's all about debug logging, I can't find anything in there about coredumps. Maybe I'm missing it, but I'm not seeing it Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Great, thanks! I'll try it out this evening Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

How about attaching a debugger before they crashed? Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I could do that, but the problem is a general one. By default, our systems are configured to not generate coredumps. I know how to disable that by setting the default ulimit. But all kde applications by default capture crashing signals. I really really want to have the coredumps, they are much easier to use for debugging a problem than just reading a dead backtrace which doesn't contain information about (for example) variable contents Yes, for this specific purpose it is about amarok and kactivitymanagerd, but I really really really need to disable this by default. Some crashes in other applications are very random and might not be reproducible for months.
