## I found a bug, what I do?
|
|
|
|
First, test the developement version to check if it's still here.
|
|
If the bug is a behaviour not expected, please explain what you expected.
|
|
If the bug is a segmentation fault, please include a full backtrace (use gdb).
|
|
|
|
In any case, please try to explain how to reproduce it.
|
|
|
|
## Do you accept patches, enhancements?
|
|
|
|
Yes, I do. Please send them to me or the mailing-list for review. See also the [devel](/devel/) section.

## I'd like to contribute to awesome Web site, how can I do?
|
|
|
|
Please grab sources via git [here](http://git.naquadah.org/?p=awesome-www.git;a=summary).

You can grab them using git, or you can generate a tarball from the Web interface.

## I used to pipe things to be printed in stdin (like dwm) in awesome 1.x, it does not work in awesome 2.0, why?
|
|
|
|
Because we implemented a better system. You want to use awesome-client which read the following from stdin:
|
|
#screen uicb arg
|
|
|
|
So to change the statusbar text on screen 0, simply do the following:
|
|
> echo 0 setstatustext "Hello, awesome world!" | awesome-client
|
|
|
|
If you want to view another tag on screen 1:
|
|
> echo 1 tag_view 3 | awesome-client
|
|
|
|
etc.
|

|
|
## Is there a program-launcher, menu... in awesome?
|
|
|
|
You can use third-party tools like:
|
|
|
|
* [dmenu](http://www.suckless.org/wiki/tools/xlib) - a program launcher
|
|
> e.g. key { modkey = {"Mod4"} key = "p" command = "spawn" arg = "exec `dmenu_path | dmenu`" }
|
|
|
|
* [dzen](http://gotmor.googlepages.com/dzen) - x-menu / statusbar and more...
|
|
|
|
* [9menu](ftp://freefriends.org/arnold/Source/) - simple x-menu
|
|
> e.g.: 9menu -file [~/.9menurc](http://www.calmar.ws/awesome/.9menurc)
|
|
|
|
* [apwal](http://apwal.free.fr/) - simple icons on root window
