View Full Version : Missing Core Dump

I'm running the latest Ubuntu livecd, and using gcc (installed by aptitude install build-essential).

When a program I've compiled crashes it displays a "core dumped" message. However I cannot find the core file anywhere.

I realize that there are several other threads about this, and the only advice I managed to get from them was to set ulimit -c unlimited. (This worked for me in the past, on a desktop install).


Anyway now I do not have any Ubuntu box -- I'm just using the livecd. I've set ulimit -c to unlimited, but still no core file.

Any suggestions?

Suspect it's something to do with the livecd. Going to try installing Ubuntu.
