[SOLVED] startx stop working after shutdown -r 0 on VB
Hi. I have installed Arch linux on Virtual Box. I installed x server and plasma kde and after that i install i3-gaps.
it worked beautifully for a day or 2 without problems but today startx does not start my i3
i searched online for solutions but i did not find anything that can help me.
i try to undarstand Xorg log but again i couldn't understand anything.
the only thing changed in xinitrc is that i commented out tdm & line and xterm ones and i add exec i3 at the end
currently i can only startx with sudo command...

i915 is not your video kernel module, you probably want vboxvideo

Please do not post oversized images (in pixels) of text.
After changing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf you need to update the initrd by running `mkinitcpio -p linux` then reboot to use the update initrd.
