====== Frequently Asked Questions ====== Listed here are the most frequently asked questions from the user forums. Please check here to see if your problem has been fixed before starting a new forum thread. 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. \\ ===== General ===== * [[faq-login|Log-In Problems]] * [[faq-slim|Shutdown via slim]] * [[faq-terminal|Terminals (Copy/Paste etc.)]] \\ ===== Package or Software ===== * [[faq-dependency| An Application Cannot Find Libraries/Files ]] * [[faq-programfailstorun | A Program Doesn't Run or Quits Unexpectedly ]] * [[faq-pkgconv | Can I install a package on SliTaz from another distribution? ]] \\ ===== Hardware ===== * [[faq-mouse|Mouse]] \\ ===== Questions Still Unanswered? ===== 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]]! 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. ** Your first post should include the following things: ** * 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: echo '=== PCI Devices: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lspci >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== USB Devices: ===' \ >> SysInfo.txt && lsusb >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== Kernel Modules: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lsmod >> SysInfo.txt * 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? This should provide enough system information for help to be provided. ---- \\ ^ Page Review Section ^^ |Quality| Low | |Review| Major Updates FIXME | |Priority| High | |Problems| add a [[http://forum.slitaz.org|forum post link]]| |::: | OR add a [[http://labs.slitaz.org/issues |lab issue tracker link ]]| |How to Improve| Suggest briefly, e.g.,| |::: | [[en:guides:start | Add link]]| |::: | Add new rows like this ;-) | \\ ----
