[edit] How to test?

[edit] Update your machine to latest Rawhide or F10

See the instructions on the Rawhide page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide.

[edit] Installation

  1. A yum repo is available to provide easy access to koji builds for F11 and F10. Run the following command to create the repo config file for crash-catcher: 
# cat <<EOF>>/etc/yum.repos.d/crash-catcher.repo
[crash-catcher]
name=crash-catcher
baseurl=http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/repos/crash-catcher/\$releasever/\$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
EOF
  1. Next, install the crash-catcher packages: 
    # yum install crash-catcher\*
  2. Disable bug-buddy: add a line 
    GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=1
    to ~/.bashrc
  3. Then restart the computer to launch the daemon and load the necessary dbus configuration files
  4. Check if the daemon is really running, if not for some reason, run crash-catcher
  5. Run cc-applet (as an ordinary user)

[edit] Configuration

after installation some default settings are stored in /etc/crash-catcher/* configuration is written on single line "key = value {, value}" 

  * OpenGPGPublicKeys list of GPG keys
  * EnableOpenGPG, check if a package is signed with one of keys
  * BlackList blacklisted backages
  * EnabledPlugins a list of enabled plugis. There should to be at least one language/application plugin and database plugin
  * Database denotes database plugin, there has to be one database plugin! (crash-catcher-plugin-sqlite3)
  * every language/application plugin can have several reporter plugins. If you want to report something, then it has to have at least one :-)

  * description of options is in these files.

   # test conf file. it will be generated in the future
   # Enable GPG check
   EnableOpenGPG = no
   # GPG keys
   OpenGPGPublicKeys = /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
