SUMMARY On Fedora Kinoite, we don't want to install the full gdb package into the image by default but we can install the gdb.minimal as it has less dependencies. So this is a request to have DrKonqi try using gdb.minimal if it does not find a "full" gdb. This might be of interest to other systems that don't want to ship a full gdb package will all python bindings, etc. I've manually verified that this "works" on Fedora Kinoite if I symlink gdb -> gdb.minimal. DrKonqi might not be directly calling for gdb so this might need to be done in other place. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have an application crash on Fedora Kinoite with the gdb.minimal package installed OBSERVED RESULT No crash info generated by DrKonqi as it only looks for the gdb binary EXPECTED RESULT Crash info found. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Kinoite 37 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98 Qt Version: 5.15.6
Thank you for the bug report! Please note that Plasma 5.25.5 is not supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.24, and 5.26 or newer. If at all possible please upgrade to a supported version and verify that the bug is still happening there. If you're unsure how to do this, contact your distributor about it.
Setting to "confirmed" just so it doesn't get closed
(In reply to Tobias Fella from comment #2) > Setting to "confirmed" just so it doesn't get closed (i might have been wrong about this getting closed automatically but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
The bug janitor doesn't yet auto-close unconfirmed bugs after a period of time, but it probably will someday, and using CONFIRMED is good practice anyway,
Looks like we're calling gdb/coredumpctl from the commands in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/drkonqi/-/blob/master/src/data/debuggers/internal/gdbrc so I'll have to figure out either how to add a second copy of that for gdb-minimal or keep the workaround at another level if that does not work for the `coredumpctl gdb` command.
I'm going to close this one as this is very Fedora specific and I don't see an easy fix. I'll make a workaround in Fedora Kinoite instead.
