# Please, read me!
|
|
|
|
So that I can help you quickly and without having to redirect you here.
|
|
|
|
# If you have a question
|
|
|
|
Take the following steps:
|
|
|
|
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 <a name="issuesec"/>
|
|
|
|
First do
|
|
|
|
1. search the [issues section](https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats/issues) and
|
|
2. search [lain issues section](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/issues) and
|
|
3. search [lain wiki](https://github.com/lcpz/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:
|
|
|
|
1. Restart X like this:
|
|
```shell
|
|
startx -- -keeptty -nolisten tcp > $HOME/.xorg.log 2>&1
|
|
```
|
|
the error log will be output into `$HOME/.xorg.log`.
|
|
|
|
2. 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 into 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).
|
|
|
|
# If you have a new feature or theme request
|
|
|
|
Write a detailed description of the desired design, preferably with screenshots or mockups.
