How to Debug Nemo (Linux Mint File Manager)


I googled how to debug nemo, someone said that can debug nemo by installing nemo-dbg, then type sudo killall nemo and gdb nemo on the command line. But I still don't know how to do ... can someone give me any information about it?

I want to debug nemo because when I copy directory on Desktop, the source and dest dir overlapped. Does anybody know why?


Solution

  • I installed nemo-dbg, when I killall nemo, then nemo autorestart, so I can't debug it. Later I executed nemo-launcher, and Ctrl-C to terminate, then nemo is terminated too. After that I debug with gdb nemo, then set breakpoint, eg b copy_move_directory, it works.
