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
  3. Ask the 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

First do

  1. search the issues section and
  2. search lain issues section and
  3. search 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:
startx -- -keeptty -nolisten tcp > $HOME/.xorg.log 2>&1

the error log will be output into $HOME/.xorg.log.

  1. Use Xephyr:
# 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.

If you have a new feature or theme request

Write a detailed description of the desired design, preferably with screenshots or mockups.
