sway/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md

If you are using the nvidia proprietary driver for any reason, you have two choices:

1. Uninstall it and use nouveau instead
2. Use X11+i3 and close your browser tab

If lsmod | grep nvidia | wc -l shows anything other than zero, your bug report is not welcome here.

Otherwise, please include the following four components in your bug report: sway version, debug log, configuration (if applicable), and an explanation of steps taken to reproduce the issue. If sway crashes, also include a stack trace.

Obtain your version like so:

swaymsg -t get_version

If this doesn't work, use:

sway -v

• Sway Version:

Obtain a debug log like so:

sway -d 2> ~/sway.log

This will record information about sway's activity when it's running. Briefly reproduce your problem and exit sway. When preparing a debug log, brevity is important - start up sway, do the minimum work necessary to reproduce the error, then close sway.

Upload the debug log to a pastebin service such as gist.github.com, and link to it below.

• Debug Log:

You should try to reproduce the issue with the default configuration. If you cannot, please reproduce with a minimal configuration, upload the config to a pastebin service, and link to it below.

• Configuration File:

Finally, explain the steps you took in plain English to reproduce the problem below.

• Stack Trace, if sway crashes:

If you use systemd, you should be able to open the coredump of the most recent crash with GDB like so:

coredumpctl gdb sway

And then type bt full to obtain the stack trace.
