Recently moved to i3 and I had my startx command in my .bash_profile to make it run on startup but it takes hella time to load. Any help? Gonna send the xinitrc file and such as when my pc finally starts

#

.xinitrc

#!/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

if [ -f /usr/bin/i3 ]; then
    exec i3
fi

@ebon totem why not use a display manager?

ebon totem Dec 4, 2023, 6:24 PM

#

please explain further

#

like gnome?

#

to run i3 from gnome?

#

im actually fine with starting from tty though

#

I just want my pc to load in normal times

urban glade Dec 4, 2023, 6:35 PM

#

@ebon totem sudo pacman -S ly

#

remove that line from your .bash_profile

#

sudo systemctl enable --now ly

#

then reboot

#

ok ill try it

#

but i really liked the current experience ive had (besides the long loading time)

ebon totem Dec 4, 2023, 6:39 PM

#

urban glade <@560192059634614272> sudo pacman -S ly

It doesn’t solve the long waiting time

#

I still wait just with a display manager

#

Gnome loads almost instantly though

#

@ebon totem link your ly conf

ebon totem Dec 4, 2023, 6:40 PM

#

Wait my pc loads

#

Also overrode the bashrc config?

#

and discord took hella time opening

#

wtf

#

this is fresh arch install i might add

#

now instead of alacritty im back on xterm

#

urban glade <@560192059634614272> link your ly conf

#

urban glade Dec 4, 2023, 6:49 PM

#

ebon totem Dec 4, 2023, 6:49 PM

#

urban glade Dec 4, 2023, 6:51 PM

#

@ebon totem i3 config not ly

ebon totem Dec 4, 2023, 6:52 PM

#

urban glade <@560192059634614272> i3 config not ly

#
