Launching i3-gnome only launches i3 #10
Comments
Hello, sorry for the misconceptions, the deal with You get the i3 (window manager) as you know but still using GNOME desktop environment. The important here is that, for example, if you plug in your headphones, with the traditional use of i3 (only the window manager) you have to load an external or tweak software to get your headphones working, with Also if you have a custom GTK+ feel/theme you still have it working under Cheers! TL;DR |
To debug i suggest you to work directly with the debug session of i3-wm (it can be choosen from login screen) |
@51v4n Thanks for the reply. I thought i3-gnome would be more simliar to the behavior acheived in this article: http://blog.hugochinchilla.net/2013/03/using-gnome-3-with-i3-window-manager/ My assumption when using i3-gnome was that I wouldn't have to handle display-light, or keyboard-light since those are handled by gnome by default, but according to you that's not the case, correct? |
@naclander Exactly, with i3-gnome we're focus on the window manager under GNOME. |
I have gnome and i3 both installed. Either via
startx
, or vialightdm
(kde-greete
) gnome and i3 launch separately just fine.However, when launching i3-gnome, only i3 seems to launch. I started i3-gnome via
startx
to see if any error messages were printed but I had no success. i3-gnome is installed via theAUR
package, and I have the same behavior using i3-gnome-git.I haven't seen a post with a similar problem, so I figured I'd ask here in case anyone else is having this problem. This is on a fresh install of Arch Linux, the gnome and gnome-extra group are installed. The i3 group is also installed. Any advice on how I can further debug this? Also, thanks for the great package, this is definitely better than creating the files myself.
