=== '''Update your machine to latest Rawhide or F10''' ===
=== '''Update your machine to latest Rawhide''' ===


See the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide.
See the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide.
=== '''Installation''' ===
# A yum repo is available to provide easy access to koji builds for [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1213313 F11] and [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1213321 F10].  Run the following command to create the repo config file for crash-catcher:
<pre>
# cat <<EOF>>/etc/yum.repos.d/crash-catcher.repo
[crash-catcher]
name=crash-catcher
baseurl=http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/repos/crash-catcher/\$releasever/\$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
EOF
</pre>
# Next, install the crash-catcher packages: <pre># yum install crash-catcher\*</pre>
# Disable bug-buddy: add a line <pre>GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=1</pre> to ~/.bashrc
# Then 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)
=== Configuration ===
after installation some default settings are stored in /etc/crash-catcher/*
configuration is written on single line "key = value {, value}"
* main config file is /etc/crash-catcher/crash-catcher.conf
  * OpenGPGPublicKeys list of GPG keys
  * EnableOpenGPG, check if a package is signed with one of keys
  * BlackList blacklisted backages
  * EnabledPlugins a list of enabled plugis. There should to be at least one language/application plugin and database plugin
  * Database denotes database plugin, there has to be one database plugin! (crash-catcher-plugin-sqlite3)
  * every language/application plugin can have several reporter plugins. If you want to report something, then it has to have at least one :-)
* Plugins conf files are in /etc/crash-catcher/plugins/*
  * description of options is in these files.
* known working config file /etc/crash-catcher/crash-catcher.conf
    # test conf file. it will be generated in the future
    # Enable GPG check
    EnableOpenGPG = no
    # GPG keys
    OpenGPGPublicKeys = /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
    # blacklisted packages
    BlackList = bash, bind, apache2
    # enabled plugins
    EnabledPlugins = SQLite3, CCpp, Mailx, Logger
    # selected DB plugin
    Database = SQLite3
    # reporters association
    CCpp = Mailx, Logger
=== Known issues ===
Consult list of [https://fedorahosted.org/crash-catcher/report/1 active tickets] before reporting an issue.  The most common issues are listed below:
* '''Report multiple crashes''' - if you want to report same crash twice, you have to remove CC's DB (default path /var/cache/crash-catcher/crash-catcher-db) and make a crash again
* '''dbus timeout''' - if reporting causes an installation of many debuginfos, then a dbus timeout may occur. In that case, try to report crash again after debuginfos are installed.
* '''crash-catcher daemon crash''' - if crash-catcher daemon unexpectedly crashs, then look for .lock files in /var/cache/crash-catcher/ and delete them. They may cause a deadlock.
* '''Nothing happened?''' - if it seems to do nothing, try to disable PGP checking and restart daemon
* '''Graphical warnings''' - gui writes some gtk warnings
* '''Report editing''' - report editing from gui doesn't work
* '''rpm %requires''' - it needs rpm >= 4.6.0-1 (rc3 segfaults)


=== Test ===
=== Test ===
=== '''Update your machine to latest Rawhide''' ===


Available tests include:
See the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide.
* [[QA:Testcase_crashcatcher]] - default crash report
* [[QA:Testcase_crashcatcher_Logger]] - Logger plugin
* [[QA:Testcase_crashcatcher_Mailx]] - Mailx plugin
 
=== Results ===
 
If you find any bug (i.e. the test case does not complete as expected, or you encounter some buggy behaviour while carrying it out), then [https://fedorahosted.org/crash-catcher/newticket file a ticket] via the [https://fedorahosted.org/crash-catcher crash-catcher Trac system].  Design discussion can also take place on the [https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/crash-catcher crash-catcher mailing list].
