Current Adium Debug

The Adium 1.2.5 Debug build can be downloaded here: Adium_1.2.5-debug.dmg

It is identical to the released version of Adium except that it enabled debug logging. To access debug logging, select Adium Debug Window from the Adium menu.

Once the window is open, it logs information which may be use in tracking down a problem. If the problem occurs without a crash, do the following:

1. Click Clear in the window
2. Perform the action which generates the problem. If it is a problem signing on with an account, please disconnect all accounts before starting and then only connect the account with which you have a problem. You can hold shift while Adium starts up to prevent accounts from automatically connecting.
3. Copy the contents of the debug window to a new plain text file and attach that file to your ticket.

If the problem causes a crash, your actions will be similar, but you should check the "Log to ~/Library/Logs/Adium Debug" checkbox in the window before starting. This will send output to a file named by the current date in <Home>/Library/Logs/Adium Debug. You can then browse to and attach this file to your ticket.

Please note that debug logs often contain the user names of your contacts, and if you send or receive messages this information may be included in the log.

Passwords may be included on Jabber accounts. Remove any lines that include <auth …>…</auth>.

If you are concerned about keeping this information private, just comment in the ticket that you have submitted your debug log via email. Then, email the log to feedback at adiumx dot com and include the ticket number and your Trac user name in your subject line.

Be sure to read ReportingBugs to learn about the information which can help track down problems.
