@NamousNassim did you find a solution for this, it happened to me too

Keyitdev commented 1 year ago

Did you switch session to i3?

NamousNassim commented 1 year ago

Exactly i did switch to i3 and it works

66Bunz commented 1 year ago

Yeah, I've got only that session, the login window shows, but once I click login nothing happens

edit: actually the sessions menu doesn't shows anything

Ok, so you can try this.

  1. In SDDM click ctrl + alt + f2.
  2. Login.
  3. Instal xinit if you already don't have one.
  4. Create file ~/.xinitrc.
  5. In ~/.xinitrc put exec i3 > /dev/null 2>&1.
  6. Run startx.

(If you don't know how to create files in terminal mode I can help you too, just let me know)

If it works, it means everything is ok. If dosen't it means that WM is not installed or broken.

@Keyitdev this probably works, but I was trying to set it up in a vm, and xorg started to throw some other problems. Thanks for the support anyway.
