After successfully installing Manjaro KDE without any problems, I proceeded to install i3 WM. Again, no problems when switching manually through SDDM, and I've also tweaked some of i3 configurations successfully. However, when I changed the autologin session — through KDE — to i3, now I receive a black screen with no functionality, and a mouse cursor, which features KDE's theme.
I suspected it was a problem with my .xinitrc
, but I'm not sure. My .xinitrc
comes from a previous Arch install from some time ago, which was working. I've also tried to use the get_session()
function in the standard KDE .xinitrc
, but it didn't work either. Here's what I've been using:
#!/bin/sh
xset r rate 300 40
xset s off
xset -dpms
imwheel
pacman -Sy &
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
exec i3
How do I even debug this? (I don't think this is a graphics driver problem, since both i3 and KDE were working fine a few steps before this happened...)
