How to open DWO file?
The main problem with Red Hat Linux DWARF Debugging Information is that the DWO file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DWO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DWO file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Linux operating systems
In this case, you should first verify that the Linux operating systems application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Linux operating systems in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DWO with Linux operating systems. Below is a list of programs that support the file DWO.
Programs to open DWO file
Remember to download programs supporting DWO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Linux operating systems with DWO files
If, despite the installed application, the DWO file does not start in the Linux operating systems application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DWO file with the Linux operating systems application.
Step 3. Update Linux operating systems to the latest version
If, however, after binding Linux operating systems with Red Hat Linux DWARF Debugging Information there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Various Linux developers page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DWO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DWO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DWO file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DWO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DWO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DWO file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DWO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DWO except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DWO file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DWO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
