[SOLVED] Installed LightDM after install of i3
Hi again -
Has anyone seen this issue with LightDM;
LightDM and greeter are up and running. The issue I seem to be having is that when I pick the i3 (that happens to be the default radio button) the app appears to be working only to return back to the greeter screen.
With that, here are some bits you will need to know:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (in the [Seat:*] section)
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
user-session=i3
My ~/.xinitrc:
exec i3
xset r rate 200 50
The .xsession-errors are just showing an error of a missing file called shortcuts, nothing of any importance for this.
Based on the wiki and some searching on how to enable LightDM, it appears all is in place. This may be something with i3 and here's why;
I installed i3 while I have Gnome installed and GDM worked just prior to the i3 install - after, the identical issue as mentioned abouve.
I'm hoping someone has seen this and hoping there is a easy fix (other than killing the LDM service and going back to using startx of course).
Cheers
Chris

Re: [SOLVED] Installed LightDM after install of i3
If you are using a DM, your xinitrc is irrelevant. POst the journal and xorg logs for a failed i3 session from lightdm.
Moving to NC...
