Public bug reported: cgdb freezes on startup. It starts gdb, but never reaches the point where the gdb prompt is shown. This repeats on every try.
This happens on ARM with 14.04, but happened also on 13.10. Compiling cgdb and/or gdb from source did not repeat the issue. I.e. if using a souce-built gdb, cgdb works. (gdb built with with './configure --pefix=/opt/gdb/ && make && make install', using the gdb_7.7.orig.tar.bz2 package). A source-built cgdb fails with with the Ubuntu-packaged gdb, works with source-built gdb. I opened a cgdb bug before narrowing the issue down to Ubuntus gdb package: https://github.com/cgdb/cgdb/issues/47 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: cgdb 0.6.7-2 ProcVersionSignature: Uname: Linux 3.8.13.16 armv7l ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Architecture: armhf Date: Fri Aug 15 16:32:16 2014 SourcePackage: cgdb UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-07-25 (20 days ago) ** Affects: cgdb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug armhf trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357378 Title: cgdb freezes on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cgdb/+bug/1357378/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
