Today I did an update “sudo dnf update” which updated kernel (I’m runnning latest Fedora version) and some other stuff. After this update Codelite doesn’t work anymore, it’s not responding and crashes my whole laptop. Not only I can force quit it only after 5-10mins of clicking, but after it closes my keyboard doesn’t work anymore, my fan goes full speed (I guess CPU usage explodes). After restart everything is fine and if I open Codelite again, everything goes bad. I used it before update and everything was fine.
How can I troubleshoot in situations like this?
Where should I report this “behaviour”, to Fedora or Codelite developers?
What can I do to exactly determine what goes wrong?
There should be error logs on Fedora, I guess? I’m quite new to Linux and Fedora is my first distro I am using, but learning on the way.
Thanks in advance.
It looks like you got Codelite from a 3rd party?
If so report the problem to them.
When I see a GUI program fail I will run it from the terminal to see if it reports any errors on its stdout/stderr.
You may also find related logs in the system or user journals.
Use the journalctl program to see the logs. As an example this will show the logs since a particular time, Say since a minute before you start Codelite.
For example since 11:08
sudo journalctl --since=11:08
journalctl --user --since=11:08
Increased CPU usage after crash might be due to Crash Reporter collecting debug info if you did not disable auto error reporting.
Whenever an application crashes, you can find out what is the name of it’s main program file, and start it from Terminal (ie. xterm, Terminal, or anything similar).
This will give you more information.
No other pop up window appears, only the “Force quit” or “Wait” when the app is not responding.
