[SOLVED] Startx only opens white windows

Hey, guys. First post here so let me know if I do something wrong.

Anyway, I am trying to setup a desktop environment, but I keep getting the same problem no matter which I try (first KDE plasma, now Budgie). The same thing displays if I auto start through my ~/.bash_profile or if I use

startx

Here is an image of what displays instead:

Here are all of the log files I could think of being involved in this problem, although I may have missed something:

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

If it makes a difference, I am using an Nvidia GTX 660 Ti. If anyone has any advice on how to fix this problem, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Startx only opens white windows

Your ~/.xserverrc should be your ~/.xinitrc (unless you just mislabeled them here) and you have to comment/remove the definitions for 

twm &
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login

otherwise your exec budgie will never be reached.

And just for completeness sake, running nvidia-xconfig is usually not needed and might lead to unexpected behaviour if you e.g. ever intend to add a new monitor or similar, if you don't need any specific configuration it's better to remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf it generated and let automatic detection handle the correct things.

You are correct, I did mislabel them.

Following your steps fixed the problem, even if I fee a bit like an idiot now. Thank you a ton for your help. I'll mark the OP as solved.

I also removed xorg.conf as you suggested. Honestly, the only reason I ran it was because I wanted to make sure that wasn't what was causing my issue to begin with.
