Ticket #1462 – Description
initial v2 1 1 {{{~/.sugar/debug}}} currently gets sourced (interpreted) as a shell script, which by definition means using a shell to do it. 2 To get debug logs of our DBus services (data store, presence service), we'd need to source {{{~/.sugar/debug}}} before starting dbus-launch. For "native" logins (not sugar-emulator) that's out of our control as dbus-launch is usually started by some distro script before running sugar. So {{{~/.sugar/debug}}} is currently of very limited use (before # 1440was fixed it was the same way for sugar-emulator as well).2 To get debug logs of our DBus services (data store, presence service), we'd need to source {{{~/.sugar/debug}}} before starting dbus-launch.

By using the Sugar config mechanism and adding a setting to the Control Panel we could even let "normal" users enable debug logs (they don't have to type magic incantations in Terminal and use an editor they're not comfortable with).
