It's OK - we've all been there. :) Here's what's going on. The command line in the FAQ looked like this:
$ SHOTWELL_LOG=1 gdb ./shotwell 2>&1 | tee shotwell.gdb "." means the current directory, so "./shotwell" means the shotwell program in the current directory. Evidently when you ran that command you weren't in the directory where Shotwell is installed (probably /usr/bin), so gdb wasn't able to find shotwell. In our FAQ, there's really no reason to specify "./shotwell" since most people running this command will have Shotwell in their PATH anyway. So I've just changed the command in the FAQ to look like this: $ SHOTWELL_LOG=1 gdb shotwell 2>&1 | tee shotwell.gdb If you'd like to try that I suspect you'll get better results. Thanks for helping us debug the FAQ. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711294 Title: Shotwell crashes a second after launch -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
