# How to debug with OpenCore
|
|
|
|
For those who've hit an odd bug and are unsure if it's user error or within the patcher, we recommend asking on the [OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN) for help.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging yourself
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to debug yourself is via Patcher Settings. Here there are many different settings, however, the 3 main options that will help are:
|
|
|
|
* "Enable Verbose Mode"
|
|
* "Enable OpenCore DEBUG"
|
|
* "Enable Kext DEBUG"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you've enabled these 3 options, rebuild OpenCore and install to your drive. This will provide much greater debug information as well as write logs to the EFI Partition.
|
|
|
|
## Obtaining OpenCore logs from disk
|
|
|
|
With "Enable OpenCore DEBUG" set, on every boot there will be a .txt file generated on the EFI Partition. To grab these logs, [download and run MountEFI](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI):

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you've mounted the EFI Partition of the drive you have macOS on, you should see some nice logs:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Obtaining Kernel logs from macOS
|
|
|
|
With "Enable Kext DEBUG" set, every boot will now have much more detailed logs stored in the OS. To get these logs, simply run the below command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo dmesg > ~/Desktop/DMESG.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From there, you'll have a log on your desktop.
