No matter whether i3 misbehaved in some way without crashing or whether it just
crashed, the logfile provides all information necessary to debug the problem.
To save a compressed version of the logfile (suitable for attaching it to a
bugreport), use:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
DISPLAY=:0 i3-dump-log | bzip2 -c > /tmp/i3.log.bz2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
To upload a compressed version of the logfile (for a bugreport), use:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISPLAY=:0 i3-dump-log | bzip2 -c | curl --data-binary @- http://logs.i3wm.org

the crash dialog), but it requires a working X11 connection.
After running it, you will get a URL to the logfile. Please include that URL in
your bug report.
