[i3][Manjaro] Black screen after login

[sloorush]

I had a look at the following issues but could not find my solution:

• 83

• 90

I am not sure what information should I give so it will be easy to debug. I'm very new to desktop managers. Please let me know what all information will be necessary

It only happens when I chose i3 and if I chose xinitrc it opens my KDE plasma perfectly.

Also going into tty after the black screen, and starting i3 with startx gives a black screen. startx also gives a black screen on the tty when run without any options(just startx)

Other information:

My ly config file is at default. .xinitrc is executable

My .xinitrc:

#!/bin/bash
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

DEFAULT_SESSION=startplasma-x11

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
        [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
fi

@AnErrupTion Any chance I can use ly on manjaro right now?

[Shinigami-alt]

Not yet unfortunately

[yum13241]

because manjaro does really weird crap with their repos and such. See Manjarno and Manjarno, but in a video.

Do NOT accuse me of hating on Manjaro, since stating facts is not hate. Try endeavorOS or Garuda.

@yum13241, Yeah I know about it(nothing personal with manjaro), but I don't want to/cannot spend time to shift and set up a new os at the moment(also planning to shift to a new laptop), so managing stuff with manjaro on this machine.
