Post-Installation help #37

Closed the-merky closed 1 year ago

the-merky commented 1 year ago

So installed everything and when I run startx I just get an error. ... line 54: xterm: command not foundxinit:connection to X ser Then the error just goes off screen.

You need to set up your .xinitrc to run bspwm when it starts. First copy the template to your home directory:

cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

Then delete all xterm and xclock related lines and append the following at the end of the file

exec bspwm

Then bspwm should start when you run startx

Check the arch wiki for more info on how xinit works.

Let me know if you manage to get things working

My screen went blank for a like 30 seconds when I ran startx and I started writing the new complaint, when the desktop just appeared!!! Just like in the screenshots! Thank you so much!

I'm glad you managed to get it working! Though the blank screen for 30 seconds thing is a little weird, if it happens every time you start Xorg there might be something going on, if that's the case, feel free to open another issue for that specifically.

Closing now :)
