On Fedora, I can report crashes using the gnome-abrt GUI directly to Bugzilla with all my environment information and GDB traces attached for me: [1]
It saves me an inordinate amount of time formatting and acquiring debugging information. Does this, or an equivalent, exist on any openSUSE OSes?
I ask because I’ve experienced a few crashes during my usage of OSTW, and it’s the difference between me submitting a crash report for every crash that GDB can produce a useful trace for, versus me nearly never bothering, simply because I cannot find the time to.
@rokejulianlockhart not that I’m aware of, it hasn’t been touched in 4 years… probably the reason… I’ve not had to use gdb in a long time, only fun I had late last year was Mesa and Intel ARC issues which are all resolved for me…
However, it’s merely an example to compare to. I’ve always been baffled by Tumblweed’s apparent lack of a Sentry-equivalent and bug report wizard, because it means that whilst my drkonqi-coredump-gui list fills, your Bugzilla does not.
@malcolmlewis, thanks! That looks like at least an improvement: [1]
Gathers system troubleshooting information. Organizes system information to reduce problem resolution time. Serves as a training tool by showing all commands and files used to gather system information. Creates a tarball that can be attached to a Novell service request and/or sent to a Novell Technical Services engineer.
However, supportconfig doesn’t appear to exist in the repositories, and supportutils doesn’t appear to add supportconfig to $PATH.
By the way, I forgot to mention that DrKonqi does generally provide this for KDE software, albeit even that at best inconsistently:
Shall do, if ever I’ve the time. It’s 50% of the way there:
