it's not clear to me that this is icedove, however so far only icedove consistently crashes wheezy.
could you please send me specific instructions relating to my problem**? bearing in mind I am concerned at possibility of corrupting hard drive. as with system crash I literally have to unplug to reboot. thanks again Jonathan **I read through: https://wiki.debian.org/Icedove#Debugging and found it confusing. I read through and tried the hello exercise: How to get a backtrace on wheezy I tried: icedove -g [-safe-mode] 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icedove-gdb-$(apt-cache show icedove | grep Version | awk '{ print $2 }')_$(date +%F_%T).log before system crash iirc -g was not recognised, however also no /tmp/icedove file i also tried : $ gdb icedove -g [-safe-mode] 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icedove-gdb-$(apt-cache show icedove | grep Version | awk '{ print $2 }')_$(date +%F_%T).log gdb: unrecognized option '-g' do I need screen? when to start gdb? ie so far all I get is crash with no report, strace or whatever. so what should I be doing, or what am I doing wrong? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
