Oddball request, but I need a way to crash Trinity. :)
I created bug report 769 (
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=769).
Basically, on one particular computer I am able to get Ark to crash consistently.
Yesterday I started tinkering with building my packages with separate debug packages
rather than building the debugging symbols into one package. I figure outside of the devs
and packagers most end-users are not interested in that support. :(
Today on that same computer I installed new packages for kdelibs, kdebase, and kdeutils:
six packages instead of three.
Now I can't get Ark to crash.
1. I don't pretend to understand the nuances of debugging symbols, but by splitting
the debug symbols into a separate package, could I have resolved the bug? Does that make
sense?
2. I need a way to crash something in Trinity so I can test my split packages. I have
browsed through the bugzilla and could not find anything that was repeatable here. Would
someone please suggest a way to test the Dr. Konqi crash handler so I can generate a
backtrace? My request is not related to point 1 above --- I just want to test whether my
new package scheme is working and I need a way to verify I can generate a backtrace in
Trinity. Perhaps there is a built-in easter egg or something that can do just that?
