Nothing after installation success #89

Closed rogue-agent closed 1 year ago

rogue-agent commented 1 year ago

Hello, I've fresh installed and wanted to try this out. Never used BSPWM before so I don't know if this is basic behaviour or what is. it also overwrote my zshconfig.

I ran the installer and it completes successfully. But when I reboot I get back into the tty1 on Arch-zen 6.4.2 and Efistub+refind configuration. When I run exec bspwm it throws me back into the start screen of tty1 to login.

What should I do, I need to get some work done...

You need a login manager, such as lightdm or ssd.

sudo pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

Then activate it, sudo systemctl enable lightdm and then reboot.

if you only have bspwm it will be by default, if you use more DE or Wms just choose bspwm

That was the issue. Also please finish the first steps on the wiki please.
