=== Known issues ===
=== 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:
* if you want to report same crash twice, you have to remove CC's DB (default path /tmp/CCDB) and make a crash again
* '''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
* if reporting causes an installation of many debuginfos, then a timeout on dbus can occur. In that case, try to report crash again after debuginfos are installed.
* '''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.
* if crash-catcher daemon unexpectedly crashs, then look for .lock files in /var/cache/crash-catcher/ and delete them. They may cause a deadlock.
* '''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)
