Re: [RESOLVED] Unable to start X window

What do you mean by "I try with xterm". I believe you do not have configured a Desktop/WM. startx use ~/.xinitrc (I think it must be executable) or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc; which by default launches twm (old window manager that was the standard a long time ago but that can be useful to test the X server independently of a complex Desktop). You need to copy /etc/X11//xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc and to edit it according to your need. For example, to start xfce:

[...]
# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi
exec startxfce4

Of course you have to install the desktop (or window manager) you choose.

That's true, I re-open this issue and added almost cloned .xinitrc from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc with only `dwm &` and `st &` added, but I can't do `startx`, pretty same xorg output as previous one. So why I can't startx with `dwm` and `st`  - both check installed.

If you want some help, make an effort to be clear. The window manager is twm, not dwm and I have no program called st. Moreover how you have edited xinitrc is not at all clear.  Could you post your full xinitrc? Have you any message in the console from where you call startx (call startx > ~/startx.log) to redirect the output to a file?

dwm &
st &
# xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
# st -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
# st -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
# exec st -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login

start dwm and st in background then exit.  startx is executing the initrc successfully.

I did post full .xinitrc at EDIT session in my first post, console didn't give much info:

(==) Log file ....
(==) Using system config directory ...
waiting for X to shutdown ...

Yes I can start with xinitrc from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc that use twm and xterm when startx but here I'd like to use dwm and st - terminal emulator instead, but the try failed.

How can I keep dwm open and an instance of st open?

Re: [RESOLVED] Unable to start X window

Don't start dwm in the background, use exec dwm as your last line.

That's true, dwm now kept alive. Thanks.
