 # If you have a question
 
 Take the following steps:
 
-1. [Google it](https://encrypted.google.com)
-2. Search [Awesome doc](https://awesomewm.org/doc)
-3. Ask [community](https://awesomewm.org/community)
+1. Use a web search engine
+2. Search in [Awesome doc](https://awesomewm.org/doc)
+3. Ask the [community](https://awesomewm.org/community)
 
 and, if you still don't have an answer, you can ask here.
 
 **Please be warned:** if your question is unrelated to this repository, a reply is only an act of kindness.
 
-# If you have an issue
+# If you have an issue <a name="issuesec"/>
 
 First do
 
 1. search the [issues section](https://github.com/copycat-killer/awesome-copycats/issues) and
 2. search [lain issues section](https://github.com/copycat-killer/lain/issues) and
-2. try with default Awesome configuration, usually located in `/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua` or `/usr/local/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua`.
+3. search [lain wiki](https://github.com/copycat-killer/lain/wiki) and
+4. try with default Awesome configuration, usually located in `/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua` or `/usr/local/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua`.
 
 If you can't find a solution and your issue doesn't happen with default configuration, then go ahead and provide:
 
 * output of `awesome -v` and `lua -v`
 * expected behavior and actual behavior
 * steps to reproduce the problem
+* X error log (if needed)
+
+# If Awesome fails to start
+
+Then something went wrong during its initialisation. You have to provide X error
+log. There are two ways:
+
+* (Physically) Restart X like this:
+  ```shell
+  startx -- -keeptty -nolisten tcp > $HOME/.xorg.log 2>&1
+  ```
+  the error log will be output into `$HOME/.xorg.log`.
+
+* (Virtually) Use [Xephyr](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Xephyr):
+  ```shell
+  # set screen size as you like
+  Xephyr :1 -screen 1280x800 2> stdout.txt & DISPLAY=:1 awesome
+  ```
+  the error log will be output in the file `stdout.txt`.
+
+Before reporting, read the log and see if you can solve it yourself. If you can't, then follow the [previous section](#issuesec).
