chadwm not working either through login manager or startx #166

Closed MysticMaestro closed 1 year ago

MysticMaestro commented 1 year ago

I followed all steps to get chadwm properly installed. I first tried logging in through login manager, created the desktop entry file and although I could see the "chadwm" entry on login manager screen, it reverted me back to the login screen. I tried running run.sh file through startx on a tty screen. First I got an error that .Xresources file was missing. So I copied it from the chadwm folder to the home directory but still wasn't working. I am posting my xorg log file.

I am using Arch linux.

did you chmod the run.sh file?

MysticMaestro commented 1 year ago

Yes, I did.

siduck commented 1 year ago

idk then :/

i hope you have compiled chadwm before

MysticMaestro commented 1 year ago

Yeah I compiled it. I guess my issue similar to issue 96 I am also using archcraft.

ugh.. i'm unable to reproduce it. i just use sx ( startx alternative, startx should work too )

alias dwm='sx sh ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh' and then I run dwm in tty

Ok, I finally got it working. It was a locale error. To make it work, it has to be a UTF-8 locale. Thanks for the help
