How to test?

Update your machine to latest Rawhide or F10

Installation

  • Install the Crash Catcher RPM package. Your browser should offer the option of installing the package when you click on it (Package will be provided later today)
  • Restart the computer to launch the daemon and load the necessary dbus configuration files
  • check if the daemon is really running, if not for some reason, run crash-catcher
  • run cc-applet (as an ordinary user)

Test

Follow the test case.

Results

  • If you found any bug (i.e. the test case does not complete as expected, or you encounter some buggy behaviour while carrying it out), then file a ticket via the Trac system on FedoraHosted
  • If you have suggestions, ideas or criticisms that are not simple bugs, send them to the crash-catcher mailing list
  • If you have questions or problems during the test process, please ask in the #fedora-qa IRC channel

Enjoy it!
