Issue reporting
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
It is very important to attach the Klipper log file to all
|
|
reports. The log file has been engineered to answer common questions
|
|
the Klipper developers have about the software and its environment
|
|
(software version, hardware type, configuration, event timing, and
|
|
hundreds of other questions). **The developers need the Klipper log
|
|
file to provide any meaningful assistance**; only this log file
|
|
provides the necessary information.
|
|
|
|
On a problem report the first step is to **issue an M112 command** in
|
|
the OctoPrint terminal window immediately after the undesirable event
|
|
occurs. This causes Klipper to go into a "shutdown state" and it will
|
|
cause additional debugging information to be written to the log file.
|
|
|
|
Issue requests are submitted through Github. **All Github issues must
|
|
include the full /tmp/klippy.log log file from the session that
|
|
produced the event being reported.** An "scp" and/or "sftp" utility is
|
|
needed to acquire this log file. The "scp" utility comes standard with
|
|
Linux and MacOS desktops. There are freely available scp utilities for
|
|
other desktops (eg, WinSCP).
|
|
|
|
Use the scp utility to copy the `/tmp/klippy.log` file from the
|
|
Raspberry Pi to your desktop. It is a good idea to compress the
|
|
klippy.log file before posting it (eg, using zip or gzip). Open a new
|
|
issue at https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/issues , provide a
|
|
description of the problem, and **attach the `klippy.log` file to the
|
|
issue**:
