Re: [Evolution] Evolution causes reboot, where should I look for debugging?

Hello Andre,

Thanks for your reply.

Indeed. Now that I know it is a Gnome shell crash (versus a computer
reboot) I'll definitely consider posting there, but first I wanted to
know how to debug Evolution since this is where the problem is
manifesting. Pete's email was quite helpful on that since I had a
different mindset regarding how the debugging info was collected and
simply missed a few instructions.

Thanks. I am starting to get a better understanding of these logs and
flags. This is very helpful.

I'll do my homework on this one. Need to educate myself on the debug
symbols and the associated installation process. 

Thanks again for the pointers.

All the best,
