### Awesome doesn't show up on my login screen
There have been cases where Awesome wasn't correctly registered with the display manager,
usually due to a missing `.desktop` file.
To fix such issues, copy `awesome.desktop` from the root of [the repository](https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/) to `/usr/share/xsessions/`.
```shell
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/awesomeWM/awesome/master/awesome.desktop | sudo tee /usr/share/xsessions/awesome.desktop
```
If you installed Awesome through a package manager, you might want to check if the package includes that file and, if not, notify the maintainer to add it as appropriate.
