| <h2 id="_reproducing_the_problem">Reproducing the problem</h2> | ||
| <div class="sectionbody"> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>Before submitting an issue, please make sure to close down on the problem as | ||
| much as you can yourself. Here are some steps you should consider:</p></div> | ||
| <div class="ulist"><ul> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <p> | ||
| Find a deterministic, reliable way to reproduce the problem and provide it | ||
| with your bug report. | ||
| </p> | ||
| </li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <p> | ||
| Try using the default i3 config to reproduce the problem. If the issue does | ||
| not appear with the default config, gradually adapt it to track down what | ||
| change(s) to the config introduce the problem. | ||
| </p> | ||
| </li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <p> | ||
| Reproduce the problem with a minimal setup, i.e., only use as few applications, | ||
| windows and steps as necessary. | ||
| </p> | ||
| </li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <p> | ||
| In addition, try to stick to applications that are common and, even more | ||
| importantly, free / open source. | ||
| </p> | ||
| </li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <p> | ||
| Before obtaining the log file, restart i3 in-place, execute the steps to | ||
| reproduce the problem and then save the logs. This keeps the log file as | ||
| small as possible and necessary. | ||
| </p> | ||
| </li> | ||
| </ul></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>Please be aware that we cannot support compatibility issues with closed-source | ||
| software, as digging into compatibility problems without having access to the | ||
| source code is too time-consuming. Additionally, experience has shown that | ||
| often, the software in question is responsible for the issue. Please raise an | ||
| issue with the software in question, not i3.</p></div> | ||

| <h2 id="_obtaining_the_debug_logfile">Obtaining the debug logfile</h2> | ||

| <table><tr> | ||
| <td class="icon"> | ||
| <div class="title">Caution</div> | ||
| </td> | ||
| <td class="content"> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>Logs may contain sensitive information, so please inspect the log before | ||
| submitting it. Logs may be viewed by anyone, once posted. If you choose to | ||
| redact the log, make an effort not to discard information which may be relevant | ||
| to the issue you are reporting.</p></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>The best way to avoid submitting such information is to only run the necessary | ||
| steps to reproduce the behavior when saving the log file. This will also make | ||

| </div></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>This command does not depend on i3 (it also works while i3 displays | ||
| the crash dialog), but it requires a working X11 connection.</p></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>After running it, you will get a URL to the logfile. Please include that URL in | ||
| your bug report.</p></div> | ||
| </div> | ||
| </div> | ||
| <div class="sect1"> | ||
| <h2 id="_on_crashes_obtaining_a_backtrace">On crashes: Obtaining a backtrace</h2> | ||
| <div class="sectionbody"> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>When i3 crashes, it will display a dialog stating “i3 just crashed”, offering | ||
| you to save a backtrace to a text file.</p></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>To actually get useful backtraces, you should make sure that your version of i3 | ||
| is compiled with debug symbols:</p></div> | ||
| <div class="listingblock"> | ||
| <div class="content"> | ||
| <pre><tt>$ file `which i3` | ||
| /usr/bin/i3: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically | ||
| linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped</tt></pre> | ||
| </div></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>Notice the <tt>not stripped</tt>, which is the important part. If you have a version | ||
| which is stripped, please check whether your distribution provides debug | ||
| symbols (package <tt>i3-wm-dbg</tt> on Debian for example) or if you can turn off | ||
| stripping. If nothing helps, please build i3 from source.</p></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>Once you have made sure that your i3 is compiled with debug symbols and the C | ||
| debugger <tt>gdb</tt> is installed on your machine, you can let i3 generate a | ||
| backtrace in the crash dialog.</p></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>After pressing "b" in the crash dialog, you will get a file called | ||
| <tt>/tmp/i3-backtrace.%d.%d.txt</tt> where the first <tt>%d</tt> is replaced by i3’s process | ||
| id (PID) and the second one is incremented each time you generate a backtrace, | ||
| starting at 0.</p></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>In Linux, if the backtrace just says <tt>No stack.</tt>, that’s because gdb does not | ||
| have necessary permissions to attach to a running process. You can fix that by | ||
| running from a terminal (you can open a new tty, e.g. with ctrl-alt-F2):</p></div> | ||
| <div class="listingblock"> | ||
| <div class="content"> | ||
| <pre><tt>echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope</tt></pre> | ||
| </div></div> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>Afterwards, try re-generating the stack trace. Note that this setting re-sets | ||
| after reboot, see more info at | ||
| <a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/Yama.txt">https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/Yama.txt</a>.</p></div> | ||

| <h2 id="_debugging_i3bar">Debugging i3bar</h2> | ||
| <div class="sectionbody"> | ||
| <div class="paragraph"><p>To debug i3bar problems, use the <tt>--verbose</tt> commandline parameter, | ||
| or add <tt>verbose yes</tt> to all <tt>bar {}</tt> blocks in your i3 | ||
