SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

having followed the wiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Stumpwm

i find i can start stumpwm if in ~/.xinitrc i have:

exec xterm -e stumpwm

but i get a blank screen if i just use (as per wiki)

exec stumpwm

i haven't been able to find anything either on bbs.archlinux or elsewhere including explanations of startx giving blank screens.

i know stumpwm is running because i can (from another console)

kill `pgrep stumpwm`

to get back to my first console.

i don't understand though why i'm not getting the welcome to stumpwm notice or why nothing works.

i have been using gnome, but have disabled gdm. i can get into gnome just fine with exec gnome-session in the .xinitrc file.

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

Paste your xinitrc and the full xorg log of a session started with `startx` from that xinitrc.

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

thx jason. files copied below.

btw, the wiki says that a stumpwm.desktop file will be added to /usr/share/xsessions, but none was. i made one up, based on things i found on the net, but that didn't do anything.

also, when i installed the aur items, i used makepkg -sri (instead of pacman -U which i presume is fine since everything got installed ok, afaik).

.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

#xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
#xrandr --auto

#exec gnome-session
#exec xterm -e stumpwm

exec stumpwm

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

Your xinitrc is broken, read the wiki page to fix it.

X is working, so the issue is likely your stumpwm config.

Yes, running makepkg like that calls pacman; its all good.

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

i copied the xinitrc and modified it as per wiki instructions and the .xinitrc is

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# 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

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

exec stumpwm

#exec gnome-session

however, the same problem remains - i get the blank screen.

the logs in ~/.stumpwm.d are blank.

so, i'm not sure what to do here (even though i can start stumpwm through a terminal).

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

Why did you start it in a terminal in the first place?

You could try printing your environment in the TTY from where you run `startx`, and from the xterm instance to determine if there is a variable that is present in the latter.

Also, post your .bash_profile/.profile (or whatever shell initialisation file you use).

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

it was an accident. my .xinitrc started twm with the usual 3 terminals and since i wasn't getting stumpwm, i just typed it into one of them and it worked, much to my surprise.

all i have in the .zshenv
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
export TERM=gnome

stumpwm is actually working, so i'm fine, but i would really like to know why i have to start it from a terminal ... and what to do about it.
i'll follow up on your suggestions.
thx for helping[

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

Don't set your $TERM like that, it will cause more breakage.

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

oh really?!
ok i'll look into that too - i just did it that way because i saw it somewhere on the net, but didn't think to investigate it.

i tried installing with yay just in case, but same issue.

if i come up with some success i'll post again in the future.

thx again jason!

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

i find i can start stumpwm if in ~/.xinitrc i have:

exec xterm -e stumpwm
but i get a blank screen if i just use (as per wiki)

exec stumpwm
i haven't been able to find anything either on bbs.archlinux or elsewhere including explanations of startx giving blank screens.

i know stumpwm is running because i can (from another console)

kill `pgrep stumpwm`
to get back to my first console.

I'm gonna say there's no actual problem - you're running stumpwm but not much else?
Modify your xinitrc to tail in

…
xterm &
xterm &
exec stumpwm

Re: SOLVED: stumpwm not starting except from terminal

@seth
interesting - it worked!

i actually tried something similar but using a single emacs& instead of 2 xterm& with no success.

also, the twm default (as mentioned earlier) didn't work:

twm &
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login

but that's probably because it already started twm.

however, replacing twm with stumpwm does not work:

stumpwm &
xterm &

i guess that stumpwm needs to see xterm is running and therefore has a reason to display something.

thx for this, seth!

i'll mark this solved for now.

stumpwm &
xterm &

You're forking stumpwm and the xterm - if you don't run anything else, this is where xinit ends and the X11 server terminates.
There needs to be a process that keeps the session open.
