Xorg "xinit: connection to X server lost"

Hello. This is my first post.
I have spent the past few hours installing dwm.
I successfully installed it. Hitting Shift-Alt-Enter and Shift-Alt-q works fine.
However, in the console, Xorg outputs an error saying

warning: no locale support.
    xinit: connection to X server lost.

I tried to look into what could be causing these warning messages to appear.
I have a clean install of arch where the only packages I have installed is
-xorg-server
-xorg-xinit
-a font package
-dwm (successfully compiled and installed)

I read another forum post where someone said to delete the config directory in "/home/osapogostoso/.local/xorg/Xorg.conf.d" which ended up breaking xorg. Foolish mistake, I ended up removing and reinstalling xorg-server and xorg-xinit.
My apologies in advance if this seems like a trivial question. I have exhausted my novice research capabilities. Thank you.

Re: Xorg "xinit: connection to X server lost"

the config directory in "/home/osapogostoso/.local/xorg/Xorg.conf.d"

… is not a thing - and google only finds your post itr.

Also post the output of "hostnamectl"
