I use Manjaro Linux with the Cinnamon desktop and sometimes run into system-level issues, but I have no idea how to properly debug them. It doesn’t feel as straightforward as debugging a normal program. What’s the best way or resource to learn system debugging on Linux?

I have resorted to the AI step also, if Stract.com doesn't give me a good link, because if I paste a minidlna crash log Google responds with:

  • Mini Cooper on sale
  • Buy your DAC device here
  • want to sign up to streaming music
  • network and NAS comparisons

Useless.

At least AI said: based on your error it appears a file in your database has metdata tags it cannot parse properly. Sure enough the tagger I used had applied a tag to a wmv file and Minidlna couldn't deal with tag1 area vs tag 2 areas used in other file formats.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
