  <para>This tool<footnote><para>You can start this tool from the command 
	line, by typing <emphasis role="bold">drakbug_report</emphasis> as 
	root.</para></footnote> can only be started and used on the command 
	line.</para>

<para>It is advised to write the output of this command to a file, for 
	instance by doing <emphasis role="bold">drakbug_report > 
	drakbugreport.txt</emphasis>, but make sure you have enough disk space 
	first: the file can easily be several GBs large.</para>
<note><para>The output is far too large to attach to a bug report without 
first removing the unneeded parts.</para></note>
  <para>This command collects the following information on your system:</para>

  <note><para>At the time this help page was written, the "syslog" part of 
	this command's output was empty, because this tool had not yet been 
	adjusted to our switch to systemd. If it is still empty, you can 
	retrieve the "syslog" by doing (as root) <emphasis role="bold">
	journalctl -a > journalctl.txt</emphasis>. If you don't have a lot of 
	diskspace, you can, for instance, take the last 5000 lines of the log 
	instead with: <emphasis role="bold">journalctl -a | tail -n5000 > 
	journalctl5000.txt</emphasis>.</para></note>
