Hi,
I updated my system today and now I can't debug in Qt Creator anymore. When I start debugging I get this output:
Debugging starts
&"warning: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal: Inappropriate ioctl for device\n"
The application runs, but it is not debugging. After a while I get a message window that says:
The gdb process has not responded to a command within 40 second(s). This could mean it is stuck in an endless loop or taking longer than expected to perform the operation.
You can choose between waiting longer or aborting debugging.
I also can't kill the application with the stop button in Qt Creator when debugging.
I have tried this with Qt 4 and Qt 5, in Debug and Release mode. I also created a new project and tried it, it had the same results.
Any suggestions? Please note that I am pretty new to Arch.

If you updated the kernel, reboot the system and try again.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I already did that. I also read somewhere that sometimes reinstalling a package helps, so I removed and reinstalled any qt5 package, qtcreator and gdb. The behavior is still the same.
By the way, is there a way to see which packages were updated exactly? Qt Creator was updated for sure, since it now looks different. :-)

Have you seen the warnings in the log? Your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf could use some love :-)
Try downgrading gdb and see if it helps. If not, see if downgrading qt packages helps.
Offline
Yes I saw the warnings, but I don't know what they mean, and they were only warnings. Actually I still don't. Is there a wiki page or something so I can give it the love it needs?
I also didn't know downgrading was possible. Will try that now.
Offline
Is there a wiki page or something so I can give it the love it needs?
Search to find out :-)
I suggest reading e.g. the man page or the wiki first before asking on the forums. Provided documentation should be sufficient and up to date.
Offline
I did a quick search of course, but it didn't show up. Doing it again now does show a wiki page indeed, so I probably overlooked it or something the first time. ;-)
Downgrading gdb did not help, but downgrading qtcreator did.
I still get these messages, but debugging works anyway:
Debugging starts
&"warning: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal: Inappropriate ioctl for device\n"
no loadable sections found in added symbol-file system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7ffa000
Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
I upgraded gdb again, it still works. So now only qt creator is not up to date.
Can I tell pacman to exclude qtcreator from future system upgrades?
Should I create a bug report somewhere or something?
And of course: Thanks a lot!

Can I tell pacman to exclude qtcreator from future system upgrades?
Read the man page for pacman.conf. I think you should familiarize yourself with all the basic commands and configs.
Should I create a bug report somewhere or something?
Yes, I think a bug report is in order.
Offline
Ok, thanks again, I will do both.
