Is it possible to use abrt as intended and still be able to get core

We need a way to be able to use gdb to debug core dumps.
I know we can turn off abrt entirely
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
but that's not acceptable!
We need a way that allows abrt to be used for fedora packages, while at
the same time allowing capturing core dumps to run gdb on for non-fedora
packages.
If there is a way in the current abrt design, it is not sufficiently
obvious/discoverable.
Hi,
I'm pretty sure there is a way to achieve this with the current abrt
design, can you please describe how do you imagine this should work?
Thank you,
Jirka
One possibility would be to simply add an dialog to abrt-gui to save the
core
dump to some user-specified location. It could offer to run gdb, but
that's not necessary.
I suppose it would also be good to have a non-gui option as well, but I
don't know what that would be.
You have two options:
1) in /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf you can change the
option ProcessUnpackaged = no to yes
2) you can just set ulimit -c unlimited and abrt will create the core in
the CWD in format core.<PID> as it is by default without abrt and then
you can pass it to gdb
Regards,
Jirka
If 2), will abrt still operate as normal on fedora package core files? We
don't want to permanently disable abrt just to enable normal use of gdb on
our own code.
- yes, the only problem is, that it will create 2 cores (one in /var/
one in CWD) for every crash
--Jirka
And what will 1) do? man page says:
ProcessUnpackaged = yes | no
When set to yes, abrt will catch all crashes in the system. When set
to no,
it will catch crashes only in executables which belong to an
installed
package. The default is no.
Ok, if set to yes it will 'catch crashes'. But what will it do with them?
I seriously doubt I'm the only developer who's going to find this confusing.
- if you set it to yes, it will be visible in abrt gui, and *if
configured properly* (which is quite untested) could be used to generate
backtrace or reported to some bug trackers which doesn't require package
information (emailed, ftp/scp,...)
