Where can I send crashdumps?

[dolf]

I'm getting segmentation faults with FreeFileSync 10.8 on Linuxmint 19 Tara after clicking "Synchronize". I've made a crash dump using instructions found elsewhere on this forum. Where can I send the crashdump?

I'm assuming you're on 64-bit Ubuntu and are able to reproduce with the following debugging version:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/lnt32354cfkfygd/FreeFileSync_10.9_beta_Linux.tar.gz

If yes, set up your system as follows so that it will create a crash dump file in folder /tmp/ that you can then send me to analyze the crash:

1. Temporarily set crash dump path:

echo '/tmp/%e CrashDump %t.dmp' | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern


2. Enable crash dump creation for the FreeFileSync process:

ulimit -S -c unlimited FreeFileSync


3. reproduce the crash with the FreeFileSync debugging version above

4. Send me the core dump file, e.g. "/tmp/FreeFileSync CrashDump 1536857698.dmp" via email (=> zip it).

Hi Zenju, let's move past the canned response. You still have not answered my question: Where can I send the crashdump? In other words: What is your e-mail address?

Thanks for a good piece of software.

The crash dump file needs to match the above version, or it won't be of much use. The email is found on FFS's home page or FFS's about dialog.

All right, will do. Thanks.
