<h1 class="title">Task Troubleshooting Guide</h1>
<p>
Here you will find tips and suggestions for making task behave
properly, and bug workarounds.
</p>
<br />
<h2 class="title">Segmentation Fault for certain commands</h2>
<div class="content">
<p>
Task 1.3.0 and earlier has been generating segmentation faults
after upgrading to a new version of task. This is mostly
occurring for Ubuntu users.
</p>
<p>
While a fix is being worked on, here is a workaround:
</p>
<code><pre>% cd
% mv .task .task_backup
% mv .taskrc .taskrc_backup
% task version
(task will recreate .taskrc and .task)
% rm -r .task
% mv .task_backup .task</pre></code>
<p>
Please be careful with that "rm -r .task" command - it is all too
easy to make a mistake and delete something important.
</p>

<h2 class="title">How to get rid of the "Age" column</h2>
<div class="content">
<p>
The "Age" column that shows up on several reports is proving
to be unpopular. In task 1.2.0 and later, here is how to
remove it from the reports - make sure you have the line:
</p>
<code><pre>showage=no</pre></code>
<p>
in your ~/.taskrc file.
Note that the "task long" report does not obey this setting
in versions prior to 1.3.1.
</p>
<p class="small">
The "showage" setting is supported in task 1.2.0 or later.
<br />
The "task long" report supports this setting in versions 1.3.1
or later.

<h2 class="title">How do I build task under Cygwin?</h2>
<div class="content">
<p>
Task is built the same way everywhere. But under Cygwin, you'll
need to make sure you have the following packages available
first:
<ul>
<li>gcc
<li>make
<li>ncurses
</ul>
The gcc and make packages allow you to compile the code, and
are therefore required, but the ncurses package is optional.
Ncurses will allow task to determine the width of the window, and
therefore use the whole width and wrap text accordingly.
