Thanks for your suggestions, omkar, but both are not acceptable "fixes" for the end user.
Option 1 means running QtCreator and the spawned application as root, which is frowned upon for good reasons. Debugging should work without sudo. Option 2 is already outlined in the link I posted in the original bug submission, so it's nothing new. But it disables the security feature for all application, which is also not desirable. Even if option 1 or 2 were acceptable, it's certainly not acceptable that the user has to change the system configuration by herself to get debugging to work. It should work out of the box. So it's definitaly a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156674 Title: QtCreator: "ptrace: Operation not permitted." in Debug mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtcreator/+bug/1156674/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
