What are the logs useful for
If you provide debugging logs to a ticket, you'll be making it much easier to developers to fix the issue. In most of the cases it will be easiest for you to reproduce the bug.
Enabling debugging
On the XO
These are general steps to follow when providing logs for some bug:
- Start the Terminal activity.
- Type the following:
echo 'export SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug' >> /home/olpc/.xsession
- Reboot, or just restart X using ctrl+alt+erase
The file ~/.xsession-example contains other settings useful for debugging. You can copy individual lines from this or copy the entire file to ~/.xsession.
Using the sugar-emulator
Run the emulator with the following command:
SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug sugar-emulator
Presence service
If your bug involves the presence service, you might also want to follow the steps for BugSquad/TelepathyDebugging.
Where are the logs placed
- Perform the minimal steps to reproduce the bug.
- The relevant logs are in ~/.sugar/default/logs, (e.g org.laptop.WebActivity-1.log for the log of the first Browse instance).
