Bugs Bugs and unintended behavior

Please read the wiki and browse the Issues section first.

If you can't find a solution, then please provide:

  • output of awesome -v and lua -v
  • expected behavior and actual behavior
  • steps to reproduce the problem
  • X error log

How to provide X error log

There are two ways:

  • (Physically) Restart X like this:

    startx -- -keeptty -nolisten tcp > $HOME/.xorg.log 2>&1
    

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

  • (Virtually) Use Xephyr:

    # 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.
