unity-dbgsym.log Edit (4.0 KiB, text/plain)

I am not sure but appears I am missing some debug symbols?
according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Hardy%208.04%20and%20Newer
I was able to install unity-dbgsym, but not compiz-dbgsym and nux-dbgsym

Let me know if you need me to install something more. Here is one more stack trace after I installed unity-dbgsym

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a '.crash' file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.
I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Changed in unity (Ubuntu):
importance:	Undecided → Low
status:	New → Invalid
