Description of problem: It's not possible to open any executable in kdbg. It just shows some message with gdb output (not an error one) and that's it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.5.1-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install some package and its debuginfo (for example nmap and nmap-debuginfo) 2. kdbg /bin/ncat 3. Actual results: Pop up message box "Sorry - KDbg" with content: """GDB: Reading symbols from /usr/bin/ncat...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ncat.debug...done. done.""" and that's all it does. Expected results: ncat loaded Additional info:
Created attachment 772625 [details] patch to fix this Found the problem. gdb prints another message before first one completes, as a result there can be misplaced "done." string kdbg has a list of known "everything is ok" messages and expects that any unknown message means error. but gdb usually prints something like this: MSG1...done.\n MSG2...done.\n but sometimes, it prints this MSG1...MSG2...done.\n done.\n kdbg knows messages MSG1 and MSG2, but does not have "done." in the list of known safe messages, because so far it was always on the same line as MSG1/MSG2 solution is simple, just add "done." to known safe messages.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
