Hi,
I cannot start my x server or i3 and I have no clue why. My setup is up to date. I am running arch inside vmware and probably there lies the problem.
I normally start i3 using the .xinitrc ("exec i3") if I login from tty1. Doing this now will throw me back to the login screen.
If I login from another tty and enter "i3" or "X" or "startx" the VM will hang-up. It does not start the xserver nor can I Ctr+C or switch ttys.
The particular line where it hangs is "Loading extension GLX". On the last successful login (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) directly after this line would be "LoadModule: vmware".
So my guess is that it's a vmware issue. But I do not know where to look to track down the source of this error.
I know, that I didn't give you much information. But I didn't find anything suspicious in my logfiles. So if you need something pasted here, please let me know.
Regards,
Watnuss
