+# A yum repo is available to provide easy access to koji builds for [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1213313 F11] and [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1213321 F10].  Run the following command to create the repo config file for crash-catcher:
-Using rpm, that should be alright. (rpm will be provided later today)
+<pre>
-* restart computer to launch the daemon and load necessary dbus configuration files
+# cat <<EOF>>/etc/yum.repos.d/crash-catcher.repo

+[crash-catcher]
-* run cc-applet (as an ordinary user)

-=> crash watching should be ready now

+# Next, install the crash-catcher packages: <pre># yum install crash-catcher\*</pre>
+# Disable bug-buddy: add a line <pre>GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=1</pre> to ~/.bashrc
+# Then restart the computer to launch the daemon and load the necessary dbus configuration files
+# Check if the daemon is really running, if not for some reason, run ''crash-catcher''
+# Run ''cc-applet'' (as an ordinary user)
+=== Configuration ===
+after installation some default settings are stored in /etc/crash-catcher/*

+=== Known issues ===
+Consult list of [https://fedorahosted.org/crash-catcher/report/1 active tickets] before reporting an issue.  The most common issues are listed below:
+* '''Report multiple crashes''' - if you want to report same crash twice, you have to remove CC's DB (default path /var/cache/crash-catcher/crash-catcher-db) and make a crash again
+* '''dbus timeout''' - if reporting causes an installation of many debuginfos, then a dbus timeout may occur. In that case, try to report crash again after debuginfos are installed.
+* '''crash-catcher daemon crash''' - if crash-catcher daemon unexpectedly crashs, then look for .lock files in /var/cache/crash-catcher/ and delete them. They may cause a deadlock.
+* '''Nothing happened?''' - if it seems to do nothing, try to disable PGP checking and restart daemon
+* '''Graphical warnings''' - gui writes some gtk warnings
+* '''Report editing''' - report editing from gui doesn't work
+* '''rpm %requires''' - it needs rpm >= 4.6.0-1 (rc3 segfaults)
 === Test ===
-Set up everything according to the description and:
-* try to kill a running process, kill -SIGSEGV <pid> ( e.g. xchat is a good candidate ) !!! but be careful what you are using for chat on #fedora-qa?  :)  !!!
+Available tests include:
-* the cc-applet tray icon should start flashing wildly
+* [[QA:Testcase_crashcatcher]] - default crash report
-* once clicked, an option to open a GUI will be offered
+* [[QA:Testcase_crashcatcher_Logger]] - Logger plugin
-* the GUI will let you select a particular crash and report it
+* [[QA:Testcase_crashcatcher_Mailx]] - Mailx plugin
-* THE CRASH MUST BE FROM A SIGNED PACKAGE! (or checking gpg must be disabled in /etc/crash-catcher/crash-catcher.conf)
 === Results ===
-* If you found some bug against [[Features/CrashCatcher]] then fill a ticket via Track system on [https://fedorahosted.org/crash-catcher/ FedoraHosted ]
-* If you have some objections, clues, ideas, whatever except bug use mailing list
-* If you  have questions ask on #fedora-qa channel
-Enjoy it !
+If you find any bug (i.e. the test case does not complete as expected, or you encounter some buggy behaviour while carrying it out), then [https://fedorahosted.org/crash-catcher/newticket file a ticket] via the [https://fedorahosted.org/crash-catcher crash-catcher Trac system].  Design discussion can also take place on the [https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/crash-catcher crash-catcher mailing list].
