# 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. [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).
# If you have a new feature or theme request
