# Getting Essential Information Useful information belongs in two places the methods of getting this information are as follows. If someone asks for the logs, it is best to give them the full output of these commands as well as include them on any issue tickets you create: `sudo systemctl status waydroid-container.service` `waydroid log` `sudo waydroid logcat > ~/waydroid-logcat.txt` It is also important to make sure your kernel supports binder and either ashmem or memfd, you can verify support in your kernel by using one of the following commands. `grep -i -e android -e memfd -e ashmem "/boot/config-$(uname -r)"` Or on some distros: `zgrep -i -e android -e memfd -e ashmem /proc/config.gz` If you do not have support, you may need to change to a supported kernel or look at patched anbox-modules.dkms. Another important piece of information is knowing what linux enviroment you are using. These two commands contain the relevant information: `lsb_release -a` and `uname -a` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.waydro.id/debugging/getting-essential-information.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
