  <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>
