The most important prerequisite before being able to get a backtrace is to make sure that you have the debugging symbols for pidgin, libpurple and finch installed. Please follow the instructions below if you are using one of these distributions for more details on how to achieve this. The easiest way to obtain a backtrace for Pidgin is by running with gdb.
If you are trying to get a trace for Finch, then make sure you read GDB and finch. Here are the basics:. These means that you are not meeting the prerequisites stated at the begining of this section. If you see function names, then the backtrace is good and can be attached to your bug report. If you are trying to obtain a backtrace for Finch you need to do something different as Finch is a console-based application. Assuming that finch will at least start up without crashing, you can attach gdb to a running finch process from a second terminal in order to debug it.
Thus, instead of doing as you would with Pidgin gdb finch and then run , you will do the following:. Note the use of continue instead of run. From here on out, to get the backtrace follow the same instructions for Pidgin after the run command was executed.
These are installed by selecting a checkbox in the Pidgin installer. You can verify if you have the debug symbols by checking if you have a pidgin-x. The next time you run Pidgin and it crashes, the call stack will be dumped to a pidgin. When submitting a bug report remember to attach the most recent crash dump from the aforementioned pidgin. Autorun is a feature that allows the operating system to perform a specific action automatically when you insert a removable storage device such as a CD or a USB thumb drive.
The startup folder typically only contains links to the programs that you want to start automatically. However, the startup folder can also contain any other files such as scripts that you want to run when you log on.
In addition to the programs in the Windows 10 startup folder, there are other files that are a permanent part of your operating system and run automatically at startup. Most malware takes advantage of the autostart function of these keys by placing malicious programs in the above registry keys so that the programs run automatically without your knowledge every time you boot up Windows. Good management of Windows 10 startup programs is important for several reasons.
The main reason for adding applications, services, or scripts to the startup folder is obvious: If you use programs or processes that you need or want to run automatically when you log on, you can save a lot of time by adding them to your startup folder. Windows may be running too many applications or overly CPU-intensive programs for no good reason every time you log on to the system.
To address this problem, remove unnecessary applications from your startup folder. If so, try freeing up some memory. To learn how, see our step-by-step guide to freeing up memory. As mentioned earlier, the startup folder in Windows 10 is no longer listed directly in the Start menu, although both the user-specific and All Users startup folders are still in the Start menu directory. Here are the exact locations of these folders:.
Both folders are buried deep in the directory structures of the Windows 10 partition, which is why the operating system allows you to open either directory using shell commands.

If so, you can use this option and save yourself the following steps. If not, you can easily add already installed programs to your startup folder in Windows All you have to do is create a shortcut to the executable file. Find the new shortcut on your desktop and copy it to the startup folder in Windows 10 using copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop :.
To do this, simply delete the shortcuts from the startup folder. Note that you require administrator privileges to remove shortcuts from the All Users startup folder. Alternatively, if you set a program to run at startup in the settings of the program , you can disable it there. You can also delete startup configurations using the Task Manager , although the Task Manager also lists programs and services that are not in your startup folders.
To open task manager, simply hold down the [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys and press [Esc]. Go to the Startup tab:. This ticket was closed automatically by the system.
