Hello everyone.
I just installed Archlinux with i3 now. Then I installed chrome by using yaourt.
When I try to launch google-chrome-stable by using dmenu of i3 wm, it is not launching but i can run program by typing 'google-chrome-stable' on terminator.
What i want to do is I want to launch program by using dmenu.
So, how can i deal with this problem?
Thanks.
Edited:
I am loginning to the system with root account probabbly this issue occured because of this reason.
I observed that, when i try to launch chrome by using root, it gives error but when i do with normal user it works.
So now, I have to solve startx problem because i cannot open i3 with normal user, i have to login with root.

Running as root is the problem. Don't do that. Fix your setup, so you can log in with a user. Those applications are not made to run as root and cause all kinds of problems.

As far as i3 goes did you make sure that "exec i3" is in your ~/.xinitrc for your user? You should probably also put "[SOLVED]" in your subject title.
