Trying to run polybar on xfwm4 and i3, nothing is displayed. This is the applications output. The termination in the middle is me Ctrl+C'ing after nothing happened. LVDS-1 is the correct monitor.
$ polybar -l info mybar
* Loaded /home/me/.config/polybar/config
warn: No monitor specified, using "LVDS-1"
* Loaded monitor LVDS-1 (1366x768+0+0)

And this is the config file:

I even tried the --stdout option, but nothing else except the messages as seen in the first code block is printed.

Doesn't seem to be an issue with your config file. I tried it on my laptop and it works just fine.
Do you call your bar with `polybar mybar`?

Hello, I am facing the exact same problem.
oktomus at pangolin in ~
$ polybar example
warn: No monitor specified, using "DVI-I-0"
I use the configuration provided with the tool. And I am using i3-gaps.
