I'm having this issue with our own software built on 14.04. Attaching to a process, I can't progress. Only detaching allows the process to process.
The message is (gdb) break MysqlConnection::change_db_name(std::string const&) Breakpoint 1 at 0x9326b7: file /home/.../xxxx.cpp, line 61. (gdb) c Continuing. [New Thread 0x7f07de7fc700 (LWP 19187)] Cannot get thread event message: debugger service failed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdb in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338440 Title: gdb constantly stops with a message "debugger service failed" Status in gdb package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gdb I'm trying to debug a Firefox plugin.
