im using DWM and LY as my display manager. Whenever i login to dwm, i always have to launch my compositor separately from the terminal because i cannot do it upon startup. this works when i put the code in .zshrc, but this simply isnt practical and i will have to open a terminal everytime i launch dwm. Does anyone know a fix to this?

this is fixed ^^

#

to anyone who has the same problem, i used tty instead of my display manager and it loaded xinitrc flawlessly

@onyx jasper I use ly+ dwm :)

onyx jasper
#

i just use the shell to startx

#

it may not be the most convenient but its a temporary solution to my problem

for some reason when i start dwm with ly it just doesnt load it

#

i dont have the time to figure out why ly is doing this though

#

🤷‍♂️

#

im curious, did you have any problems like this when you started using dwm?

#

i've switched from bspwm just today

cat /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop
