Problems with i3 / something really strange

HomyC0der · 2023-09-25 13:17:14

The terminal suddenly stopped working ($mod+Enter). When restarting i3, a config error appears. I can't edit the config. When i launch the terminal, an empty window appears; when i launch another terminal, an input line appears in the first one:

After I entered something into the terminal, I launched the third one, and what I entered appears in the first one. What could it be?

When nautilus starts, nothing is displayed; after clicking there is an error: "Unable to access location. Not authorized to perform operation"

I figured out that xterm works correctly, problems with alacritty and nautilus.

Help, please

Why can't you edit the config? Your TTY still works, right?

Do you happen to use oh-my-zsh?
How do you start X?

Do you also use a compositor (picom/xcompmgr)?

Config error:

Yes, my TTY still works, but i can't normally open terminal and edit config, every action that i perform in the terminal blindly is executed only after opening one more terminal..

Yes, i use oh-my-zsh

> How do you start X?
startx i starting automatically with .zprofile (startx /usr/bin/i3)

Yes, picom

Switch your shell back to /bin/bash and proceed from there to fixing your config.
Use your TTY, not a terminal emulator, as it doesn't seem to get you anywhere right now.

Unfortunately I've got no clue what .zprofile is.

Your i3config has an "I tried to use vim" error (stray "i")
Try to kill picom or just don't start it.

Have you tried to set your shell back to bash? (OMZ situation)
Have fixed your i3config?

Yes, i tried to set shell back to bash, nothing. Even tried to rename config file and drop it to default (cant be an error), but terminal worked as before with lags (not work at all).

What is your terminal emuator?
Try xterm.
And "echo $SHELL" to make sure you're not running zsh in there.

It cannot be terminal problem. Nautilus (file manager) doesn’t work to.

Btw, alacritty and i definitely changed shell to bash

glxinfo will only work with a running X11 server, but get rid of xf86-video-intel
