Hi,

I have a machine on which I'm completely unable to debug GUI programs.
The machine runs Ubunutu 12.04 LTS.
If I try to debug, the whole system (at least X11, later the complete
system) hangs as soon as there is a breakpoint in a GUI event handler.


Try debugging you app on a second instance of X  ( display :1)
in some cases X locks up when a breakpoint happens inside a X event.

Any hints on how to go about this ?

I see suggestions with references to xvnc etc; but how to set this up with Lazarus ?


Just some general guidelines, because each distro has its whims. What works with CentOs may fail with Ubuntu

1) Use:
Run -> Run Parameters -> Use launching application

2) Your launching application will be xinit, with a :1 parameter to specify a different display.

Sort of:
/usr/bin/xinit -e /path/to/executable [Command line parameters] -- :1

for further details, man xinit and man xterm (which in this setup is launched by xinit).

Hope that it helps,

Giuliano
