11:33:40 <Robert847> Morning. I am trying to crash GnuCash in a flatpak session on Ubuntu 24.04. I hae installed gdb and I wat to attach it to flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
11:37:44 <Robert847> I have the pid but when I tried run gdb then in gdb I typed attach {pid number]
11:38:28 <Robert847> I got some error messages
11:39:18 <Robert847> I am lost. Can someone help me?
11:43:59 <Robert847> I am trying to follow the instructions in wiki stack trace
11:45:22 <Robert847> and/or wiki flatpak
11:49:10 <Robert847> It seems like I can crash it just by switching to a different window outside of GnuCash and switching back to GnuCash
11:50:25 <Robert847> but I need a stack trace to see what is really happening
11:53:58 <Robert847> I have gdb version 15.something which is the latest available for this installation

13:01:31 <warlord> .
13:15:14 *** jralls-m1 is now known as jralls
13:15:17 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o jralls
13:22:10 <jralls> Robert847 I suspect that flatpak sandboxing won't let you attach gdb to a running GnuCash because they're in different flatpak instances. Start GC inside of gdb with `gdb /app/bin/gnucash` then tell gdb `r` to start GC.
13:22:10 <gncbot> jralls: Sent 5 days, 14 hours, and 27 minutes ago: <Auri> thanks for follow up with the mailing list thread. I learned how to recover this dll from WebRoot's quarantine. Once done, installation of v5.14 was successful.
13:23:03 <warlord> Happy New Year everyone!
13:23:23 * warlord is back in the country and home.
15:12:12 *** giuseppef has quit IRC
15:12:51 <jralls> warlord, happy new year. Where did you go?
15:13:03 <warlord> Mexico
15:13:11 <warlord> (CDMX and San Miguel del Allende)
15:15:04 <jralls> Nice. I guess you missed out on last night's earthquake.
15:15:35 <warlord> Last nights? I was on the ground at MEX airport when the 6.5 hit yesterday morning. Was there another one?
15:16:43 <jralls> Not that I know of. I guess it was just news delay. I didn't check the details.
15:17:54 <warlord> Yeah,the quake hit around 8am. Epicenter was 160 miles away. We definitely felt it while we were sitting at the airport waiting for our flight.
15:26:45 <jralls> 6.5 is a pretty good shake, no surprise you felt it.
16:26:13 <warlord> It lasted a long time, too.. Probably 45-60s!

17:22:39 <Robert847> jralls: Thanks for the hint but I still failed to convince gdb to start the flatpak instance of GnuCash. earlier i did get it to start the release 5.5 which was installed by a package manager. When I start the flatpak version from the command line i use "flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash" I tried to use that in gdb but it didn't work. I have used up my debugging time for today, so I will go back to that some other time.
17:25:51 <warlord> Can't you gdb attach the flatpak gnucash pid?
17:27:54 <jralls> warlord: No, flatpak is sandboxed.
17:29:50 <jralls> Robert847: You didn't read the wiki instructions closely enough. Start a flatpak shell with `flatpak run --command=sh --devel --filesystem=$(pwd) org.gnucash.GnuCash` then in that shell run `gdb /app/bin/gnucash`.
17:31:11 <Robert847> warlord: were you outdoors? There was an error when I tried to attach gdb to the running pid. I don't remember what the error was except it was something about not in the same instance. I could try again
17:31:43 <warlord> Robert847, nope, I was sitting in the airport lounge.
17:32:37 <warlord> Yes, try again. But according to google you need to run GDB from inside the app sandbox.
17:33:13 <warlord> Robert847, https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=how+to+attach+gdb+to+a+flatpak+app
17:34:47 <Robert847> the pid had a seven digit reference number which suggests to me that gdb may not have had permission. I will look at that search
17:37:45 <jralls> Robert847 That reference number would be the sandbox id that you'd `flatpak enter` in method 2 of warlord's AI response. More authoritative instructions at https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/debugging.html#multiple-debug-shells-in-one-sandbox.
17:39:22 <jralls> Note that for that to work you must have started GC with the --debug flag: `flatpak run --debug org.gnucash.GnuCash` otherwise the sandbox doesn't have a debugger.
17:41:56 <Robert847> Good to know. I will work on that tomorrow
