Shaman/1.0.9 - Critical: Terminal output, and possibly a backtrace (use gdb for that)

Try to run it through gdb. use

 gdb shaman

Then do

gdb run

after that do

gdb bt

Then come back with the output. Im currently in a very similar situation...

Re: shaman freezing after entering root pass?

Umm then get it. Just

# pacman -S gdb

Its pretty small and a pretty essential tool.

Re: shaman freezing after entering root pass?

right, running it as root solved the problem. and when using gdb i get the intruction from shaman to
chown root shaman && chmod u+s shaman
however i get no such file or directory
