Hide Forgot
Created attachment 594522 [details] screenshot Description of problem: See attached screenshot. After retraced server refused to work, I am advised to use local retracing. But there is no way how to use it. There is no Back button. I can go only forward and that allows me to use Logger component and finish. I have to run abrt-gui, reopen the correct report and choose local debugger. That is sooo... unfriendly workflow. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-dbus-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-libs-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-addon-ccpp-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-addon-python-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-addon-vmcore-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-desktop-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-gui-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64 abrt-retrace-client-2.0.10-4.fc17.x86_64
The workflow has been changed significantly and the local retracing is not available in the default configuratio, so there is not going back when the retrace server fails. If you need to use local retracing from abrt-gui you have to go to: Problem->Open problem data which is kind of "advanced users" interface.
(In reply to comment #0) > I can go only forward and that allows me to use Logger component and finish. you're sooo lucky - I don't even have the possibility to use logger in this case (exactly, "too large for retrace" ...)

(In reply to comment #2) We want to make reporting easier and faster. We known that the first version of simplified reporting need some work thus we are looking forward for your feedback. Please, don't be scared of cryptic menus. We don't expect users are forced to use it. The default workflow must cover almost everything :) Would you be happy with solution when the reporting window asks you for a permission to perform the failed step locally?

Even when I tell it to use the retrace server, it just prints "initializing root fs" over and over again. Could you leave instructions for running local analysis while we wait for the update? When I try what I think is local analysis, the log window jumps to extremely wide (with a VERY long line) and gnome-shell crashes.
I tried selecting opening a crash, and selecting Local GNU Debugger using gnome-fallback (since it crashes gnome-shell). Again, once it starts downloading and installing the debuginfo RPMs, the log window becomes extremely wide, and metacity (window manager of gnome-fallback) crashes also.
Just installed the update to abrt-2.0.13 - and I was able to locally analyse and submit a bug! Seems to be fixed. Close?
Thanks for the info -> closing.
