`-no-config`
Disable parsing of configuration. This runs rofi in *stock* mode.
`-no-plugins`
Disables the loading of plugins.
To get a trace with (lots of) debug information, set the following environment variable when executing **rofi**:
```
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
```
The trace can be filtered by only outputting the relevant domains, for example:
```
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Dialogs.DRun
```

## DEBUGGING ## DEBUGGING
Please see [this](https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi/wiki/Debugging Rofi) wiki entry. To debug it is smart to first try disabling your custom configuration:
`-no-config`
Disable parsing of configuration. This runs rofi in *stock* mode.
If you run custom C plugins, you can disable them using:
`-no-plugins`
Disables the loading of plugins.
To further debug the plugin, you can get a trace with (lots of) debug information. This debug output can be enabled for
multiple parts in rofi using the glib debug framework. Debug domains can be enabled by setting the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG
environment variable. At creation of this page the following debug domains exists:
* all: Show debug information from all domains.
* X11Helper: The X11 Helper functions.
* View: The main rofi_view functions.
* Widgets.Box: The Box widget.
* Dialogs.DMenu: The dmenu mode.
* Dialogs.Run: The run mode.
* Dialogs.DRun: The desktop file run mode.
* Dialogs.Window: The window mode.
* Dialogs.Script: The script mode.
* Dialogs.Combi: The script mode.
* Dialogs.Ssh: The ssh mode.
* Rofi: The main application.
* Timings: Get timing output.
