[Solved] Start X automatically after login (FISH Shell)

ailjazi · 2014-09-12 16:21:43

Hi everyone.

I am trying to start X automatically after login with FISH shell. I followed the Arch Wiki, but all I get is that it justs stucks the login and nothing happens.

Do you mean you followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Login ?
Does X work if you start it manually?

Yes that's what I used. And yes, X works fine if I start it manually.

I think it might be a problem with FISH. I am using oh-my-fish as well.

Can't seem to find a solution to this. For now I'll just do startx manually.

I ended up using SLiM.

I don't use fish myself, but I know that the && operator doesn't exist in it; its equivalent is 'and'. Could you please try:

[[ -z $DISPLAY and $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] and exec startx

(Warning: maybe '-eq' and '[[' also don't exist in it, not really sure)

Thanks. Although I am now using SLiM and I no longer need that.

Please pay attention to the dates, you are bumping a 8 year old solved thread with a link to a wiki section that might not even have existed then.
