+In case you have trouble downloading presets with the 'Online' button:
+
+1. Make sure the site is actually up. Open https://musical-artifacts.com
+ in a browser. If it won't load at all, the site might be down. Also
+ if you see a 'too many users' error, wait a while and it should work
+ again. Hopefully. Anyway there's not much you can do about it :(
+
+2. If the site works fine in a browser, but you get 'Operation not supported'
+ in guitarix, it's probably a dbus error. The file /etc/rc.d/rc.dbus
+ should be executable, and when you start your X session, it needs
+ to be running within a dbus session. Most of the window manager
+ startup scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinit.* already do this (KDE,
+ XFCE, WindowMaker, and FVWM2, but not fluxbox or twm), but if you
+ have a custom ~/.xinitrc, you might need to edit it to add dbus
+ support. See /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fvwm2 for an example of how to do
+ this. Note that it's NOT enough for the system dbus to be running,
+ or a user instance spawned by some X application: dbus-launch sets
+ environment variables, and your window manager needs to have them
+ set in its environment! If you're not sure, launch a terminal in your
+ X session and type:
+
+ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
+
+ If you get a string of gobbledegook similar to this:
+
+ unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-mrYuKLNcnn,guid=2bbb2710726acb1cdbc4511f59641e0a
+
+ ...then all is well with dbus. If you get no output, fix your .xinitrc.
