So i have followed everything exactly as told in the beginners guide on how to properly install arch. I decided to install LXDE as my DE so i used this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LX … he_Desktop everything went well until i tried to complete this step :
Console
To be able to start the desktop from the console, several other options exist.
To use startx, you will need to define LXDE in your ~/.xinitrc file:
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
There is no ~/.xinitrc file in that directory. So i cannot start lxde automatically. So what should i do?

Make one yourself or copy the template from /etc/skel/.

I struggled with this too, even after installing arch more than once. Short term memory'd?
If I'm not mistaken this little bit of info is not in the Unofficial Beginners Guide.
Edit: after rereading the original post, it is in the LXDE wiki. I still think it should be in the beginners guide

This was one of my first obstacles with Linux: If a file is not here, create it.
