!!! warning If you were redirected here from Telegram, please read this entire page in full! We cannot help you if you submit an incomplete bug report.
As stated in the XDA post and various "Update" posts, we require some debugging information in order to help troubleshoot your issue.
When you are asking for help on any of the platforms we are on, such as Telegram or XDA, we ask that you provide the following information:
.iso
file used for installationlogcat
The last bit is extremely important! We're not psychics, and certainly not psychics capable of debugging binary issues over the air. Without logs, we don't know what your device is trying to do, or rather, failing to do. So here is a brief rundown on the process of capturing logs.
!!! question Q: Can I follow the instructions below, but use local terminals?
Yes, but **only** if you have **root permissions**. We include a default terminal app that you can enable by going to Developer Options. There's also a Terminal Emulator app available on Google Play.
If you would rather not use a terminal app, you can use another virtual console (tty
) in order to troubleshoot. Linux has multiple virtual consoles that you can navigate by using shortcuts. On Bliss OS, we use the Alt key and the corresponding function keys (F1 for root terminal, F7 for GUI, etc.) to navigate those virtual consoles.
Start off by entering the root terminal (Alt-F1). Then type:
su logcat > sdcard/logcat.txt
Then come back to the GUI (Alt-F7) and repeat what caused your issue. Once done, return to the root terminal and end the log collection by pressing Ctrl-C.
Then grab the logcat.txt
file from your root directory (/sdcard
) and share it with us in order for us to help you!
If your device already runs well on a Linux distro, sharing information about that distro with us may help us debug driver issues.
Our Telegram chat for Bliss OS would be a good place to send bug reports!
We are working on an official bug-tracker, it's not ready just yet. If we make it available we will update the documentation!
