Can't figure out how to start a program in ghidra and gdb about ret-sync

[andrew-ma]

also in the console I'm getting this
[<] new_dbg: dbg connect - Linux #1 SMP Debian 5.8.10-1kali1 (2020-09-22) x86_64 dialect: gdb [>] programActivated: exatlon_v1 local addr: 00400000, remote: unknown

Hi @andrew-ma

it seems your program is simply not running in gdb thus sync can not get local base address and context. Check below:

gdb$ info inferiors
  Num  Description       Executable
* 1    <null>            /bin/ls

gdb$ starti
Starting program: /bin/ls

Program stopped.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[code]
=> 0x7ffff7dd6090 <_start>:     mov    rdi,rsp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x00007ffff7dd6090 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

gdb$ info inferiors
  Num  Description       Executable
* 1    process 419       /bin/ls

After starti (or continue, run etc.) sync should be good when gdb break in.

Thank you it worked with starti. I tried it again with run, and it didn't work for run

hey o/

if you use run without a bp or a way to break in, the program will go full speed until its end and you'll find it not running again (already ended)
