With some recent software updates (well, a month's worth...didn't |
2 |
realize I wasn't syncing on my laptop), X now frequently dies on me. |

As it happens, I've already rebuilt all the software on the system...I |
5 |
do an emerge -e @world every time there's a gcc update. To my knowledge, |
6 |
there's no old cruft, no old binaries, nothing for depclean to remove or |
7 |
revdep-rebuild to fix, etc. etc. |

The next step is to actually inspect the crashes and see what's |
10 |
happening...but for this to be even remotely convenient, I'd like my |
11 |
system to start accumulating crash dumps for my inspection. Fortunately, |
12 |
I have -ggdb in CFLAGS for just such occasions, so I'm not wanting for |
13 |
symbols... |

Trouble is...I don't remember how to do this. How do I enable crash |
16 |
dumps, and how do I control where the dump files are dropped? |
