Hi All,
There have been a few issues with gnome-volume-control applet.
Everytime there is a crash, bug buddy comes up and after I have
reviewed the data, when I click on submit, it fails to submit the
bug, stating that there is no component available in Bugzilla. I
have filed bug 244526[1] for this issue. Now I would like to submit
a bug against this component manually, but in order to do so i need
the exact crash details.
So does bug buddy store the crash details in some location on the
hard-drive?
thanks,
Rogue

Bug buddy should allow you to save to file also. The important thing
is to look in the data and see what program is called and enable the
debuginfo repository and install the debuginfo packages from that
repo. This will give the developers more information from the dump
file generated during the crash. T hat information is not available
from
If this bug is filed upstream by bug-buddy, can you change the
component to which it thought it was assigned to?
The thing is that bug-buddy was working fine for all other
components, so it is kind of hard to reproduce the crash and I didn't
save the info to a file either, but the next time it happens I shall
save the text and file a bug against this on Fedora bugzilla and then
we could associate it to a base bug upstream.
One time crashes have happened to me on several occasions. I narrowed
down the times to be in sync with upgrading gnome packages. Several of
my reports were closed due to not being able to replicate the failures.
I am now installing the devel packages for
gnome-media and later shall try and reproduce the crash. Once have
the crash info I shall update the bug.
Th packages that seem to help out the developer most are the stripped
debugging codes which the debuginfo packages add in a separate
package. The debuginfo package repos are not enabled by default. An
example is
[updates-debuginfo] located in the fedora-updates.repo file. I usually
enable the repo when I need the packages installed. Others seem to
enable the repos with the enablerepo command and the name of the repo.
I find editing the file and changing the zero to the one is easier to
add, update and remove the debuginfo packages after the problem is fixed.
Aah... I got debuginfo mixed up with devel :-) .. Now I am installing
the devel packages :-)
later,
Rogue
