Stack trace

If Dino crashes, a stack trace can be obtained by executing Dino within gdb. Make sure you have debug symbols installed.

gdb dino
> r // Starts dino 
[Do whatever makes Dino crash]
> bt // To obtain the stack trace

To get traces of runtime criticals, use gdb --args dino --g-fatal-warnings.

Debug output

Additional output will be printed when setting the environment variable G_MESSAGES_DEBUG. Setting it to all will also print output from non-Dino components (Gtk, Glib, ...).

env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all dino

You can filter for which components debug output should be printed by replacing all with libdino and/or OMEMO

env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=libdino,OMEMO dino

View XML stanzas

Starting dino with --print-xmpp=[filter] results in stanzas being printed to stdout. You can create complex filters to specify which stanzas should be printed.

--print-xmpp=	Result
all	All stanzas
message	Message stanzas
message.body	Message stanzas with a body child node
message[[email protected]]	Message stanzas with the to attribute set to [email protected]
presence.{jabber:x:signed}:x	Presence stanzas having a child node x with namespace jabber:x:signed
message|iq	Message and Iq stanzas
