Description Björn Michaelsen 2012-03-21 07:03:57 UTC
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#How_to_get_backtrace_.28on_Linux.29

describes how to get a stacktrace for a crasher. If you can reproduce the
crasher of an existing bug and it is missing a stacktrace, it is of great help
to add the stacktrace to the bug. This EasyHack is to create a ready-to-go VirtualBox image, that would allow users on all platforms to quick and easy generate stacktraces.

Assigning to myself.
Comment 2 Korrawit Pruegsanusak 2012-05-11 09:15:32 UTC
My questions:
* Which LibO version we should pack?
* Also, we are quite fast at the new version, so I'm not sure how frequently the VirtualBox owner/creator has to update it? or let the user update LibO by himself?

adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility.

see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details

I can create these images, if you can tell me which OS version and which Libre Office version you want to install?

I think we would want to replicate the user's system as much as possible. So, the OS and LO version would depend on the bug report.

For Linux, we could put http://www.vagrantup.com/ to good use.
