sddm hangs after login to i3wm

wb14123 · 2016-06-07 14:48:53

I'm using i3wm with sddm. But when I entered the password and login, it shows a mouse cursor but the screen is freezing with the sddm picture. The keyboard and mouse are working. When I use alt+shift+F2 switch to a console then switch back, it shows the i3wm. And I can see the programs that I started with the keyboard while the picture was freezing.

Anyone can help? Thanks!

Does it only hang with i3? Have you tried the tip from the Wiki?

I've tried to remove ~/.Xauthority. And the bug listed in the wiki have been fixed in my version.

It only happens with i3. I can login to KDE normally.

Here is the config of i3:

# This file has been auto-generated by i3-config-wizard(1).
# It will not be overwritten, so edit it as you like.
#
# Should you change your keyboard layout some time, delete
# this file and re-run i3-config-wizard(1).
#

# i3 config file (v4)
#
# Please see http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html for a complete reference!

set $mod Mod4

# Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font
# is used in the bar {} block below.
font pango:monospace 10

# This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left
# text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango).
#font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8

# Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
# font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
# The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
# clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old
# X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap
# font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.

I have the exact same issue! After I log in with sddm, i3 starts, but the background picture is stuck with the login screen. I can still open terminal and perform tasks within i3. Just seems like sddm dosent let go. Please help!
Edit: opening the terminal works. Doing a winkey+D does not

"same" including

When I use alt+shift+F2 switch to a console then switch back, it shows the i3wm. And I can see the programs that I started with the keyboard while the picture was freezing.

?

Otherwise it's not the "same" and you'd better start a new thread, elaborating on your actual situation.

same issue!

No you don't!

1. The thread is nearly 4 years old. If you're running a 4 year old installation: update.
2. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1749573 - comment #4 is already off topic.
