(as a separate command) $ ekiga-debug The script will display a box with instructions in the following manner: ----------------------------------------------------------- | | | ----------- ---------------------------------------- | | | | |Welcome to the Debugging Tool of Ekiga| | | | Icon of | | | | | | Ekiga | | TEXT | | | | | | TEXT | | | ----------- | ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------------------------- | |-------------------------------------------------------- | | □ Advanced View | Cancel | Back | Forward | | ----------------------------------------------------------- Maybe better to make it look like the Configuration Assistant. Instructions like. $ ekiga-debug Error: Ekiga is running. Close Ekiga and try again. On the Welcome dialog: Close Ekiga Run the command (ekiga-debug) Repeat the steps that caused to the problem. Exit Ekiga Or maybe even something like this: (Dialog has started) (The user is clicking on Next, while Ekiga is still running) Message: Ekiga is running, would you like to close it? (yes/no) (Closing Ekiga ... ... ...) Ekiga doesn't seem to be closing, would you like to terminate the process Ekiga? (yes/no) (Killing Ekiga...) etc. The script will compress the output (text) in whatever archiving format available (7z, gzip, tar, zip). The output will contain the version of Ekiga and date: Ekiga-3.3.2_YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz A message of where the file was saved to. Enabling □ Advanced View will show the log writing in action in an embedded terminal within the dialog. $ tail -f Ekiga-3.3.2_YYYY-MM-DD.log Maybe some grep actions? or whatever on your mind. _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
