These are organised into per-scenario groups - from system-level through to the desktop. Within each, a symptom describes a give-away identification of the problem; a widely-working solution is then outlined. | These are organised into per-scenario groups - from system-level through to the desktop.

- | * Nothing happens when an application is run from the Launch menu. | + | No problem! We are happy to hear your question over at our [[http://forum.slitaz.org/|Support Forum]] -- or even the [[http://www.slitaz.org/en/mailing-list.html|Mailing List]] if it is a more lengthy discussion -- once you have looked through our [[http://doc.slitaz.org/en:start|documentation]]! |
- | * An application quits without warning. | + | |
- | == Explanation == | + | Answering questions takes time however, to answer them well slightly longer. This time could be better spent for other necessary things, like improving SliTaz or writing documentation. |
- | One or more of problems may have caused this. Run the program in a Terminal to see any error messages the program may deliver. | + | ** Your first post should include the following things: ** |
- | == Solution == | + | * detailed information about your hardware |
+ | * e.g the manufacturer and model of your computer, motherboard or (even better) detailed chip information. The latter can be found by running the following command and uploading the generated //SysInfo.txt// file: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | echo '=== PCI Devices: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lspci >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== USB Devices: ===' \ | ||
+ | >> SysInfo.txt && lsusb >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== Kernel Modules: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lsmod >> SysInfo.txt | ||
+ | </code> | ||
- | Launch a Terminal (command line) and run the application by typing in its name. See the following FAQs on solving common problems. | + | * precise information about your SliTaz installation: |
+ | * which version to you have? Stable or Cooking? | ||
+ | * are you using the standard ISO or a specific flavor (XVESA, Lo-RAM etc.)? | ||
+ | * is it installed on a HD or on an USB stick? | ||
+ | * do you know which file-system you used? | ||
+ | * identify when your problem appeared: | ||
+ | * was it just after installation or after an update? | ||
+ | * were there any changes to your normal usage pattern or configuration? | ||
