# Please, read me!

|
|
|
So that I can help you quickly and without having to redirect you here.
|
|
|
|
# If you have an issue
|
|
|
|
**Please read the [wiki](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki) and search the [Issues section](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/issues) first.**
|

|
|
If you can't find a solution there, 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
|
|
|
|
# How 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.
