Bug report

Before reporting a problem with gnokii make sure that:

• it isn't a known problem (use a search engine)
• it still exists in the current development version
• you can explain how to reproduce it

Your report will be useless without the following information:

• phone model and how do you connect (Bluetooth/IrDa/cable with its type)
• the values of the configuration parameters model, connection and port
• which program you are using (gnokii, xgnokii, smsd) and its version (gnokii --version or smsd --version) along with source for it: git, tarball, binary package
• edit your gnokiirc and enable debugging (see below) and attach gzipped output to the email:

   LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF8 gnokii {parameters} >errfile 2>&1

(with LC_MESSAGE=en_US.UTF8 the program output and the error messages will be in English)

• if you get a SEGFAULT, a backtrace is needed (refer to segfault)
• if you get encoding errors always use the git version
• if you are using a Nokia do your tests also with the fake driver
• if you get communication errors, kernel version (and libusb version when using connection = dku2libusb)

Send resulting report to gnokii-users (at) nongnu.org

If you want to debug yourself, use the git version and run autogen.sh (or configure) with --disable-shared to build statically linked versions that are easier to deal with, in this case the executables can be run as:

gnokii/gnokii
xgnokii/xgnokii
smsd/smsd

Enabling debug output

Debug routines are compiled in by default and can be enabled in the [logging] section of the configuration file.

To enable the debug output for the drivers and for gnokii, set debug = on

To enable the debug output for higer level routines of smsd and xgnokii, set xdebug = on

  [logging]
  debug = on
  xdebug = on
