[SOLVED] Budgie displays a white terminal when started

I have done a clean install of Arch Linux, but when I use startx to start the Budgie DE, it displays as follows

I am a beginner in Arch Linux and I would not know how I could move forward in this situation; it happened after installing xterm, which was a necessary package to be able to launch the Xorg server

[esteban@archvm ~]$ X -version
X.Org X Server 1.21.1.8
X Protocol Version 11, Revision
Current Operating System: Linux archvm 6.3.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT DYNAMIC Sat, 10 Jun 2023 00:35:35 +0000 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=28f121b7-db61-43ed-ba2c-6f7669bb77c3 rw loglevel=3 quiet
Current version of pixman: 0.42.2
Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.

[esteban@archvm "1$ pacman -Qelgrep "budgie"
budgie-backgrounds 1.0-2
budgie-control-center 1.2.0-1
budgie-desktop 10.7.2-5
budgie-desktop-view 1.2.1-2
budgie-screensaver 5.1.0-2

That's not the budgie DE by any margin, how does your .xinitrc look and did you heed the information in the note boxes from: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc ? -- which instructions are you following to set this up?

On a formal note, please don't embed huge images directly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … s_and_code

Thanks for the heads up

About the problem, I could see in .xinitrc that twm, xorg-clock and xterm were running by default; I removed those lines and I could run budgie-desktop without problems.
