I’ve seen a few other people with these “symptoms” but they don’t seem to have quite the same problem as me. I installed with archinstall on a completely fresh 2tb drive. boot into bspwm, i get a black screen with a cursor. i tried super+enter but i didn’t get a terminal. also tried openbox briefly but the same thing happened pretty much, just with a lighter grey background and a different cursor. there was no .config for either sxhkd or bspwm so i copied over the examples, which didn’t fix anything. xinitrc didn’t exist, so i made one which just ran both sxhkd and bspwm.

```sudo pacman -S sxhkd```?
yes, i installed both sxhkd and bspwm. i copied usr/share/bspwm/examples/bspwmrc to the bspwm .config. in usr/share/sxhkd/examples, there were two folders, each leading to a different example sxhkdrc, so i downloaded the one from github https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm/blob/master/examples/sxhkdrc
i manually wrote .xinitrc
`# Start SXHKD
sxhkd &
Start BSPWM
exec bspwm `
