Hi everyone,

When I start the computer, the system does not automatically log into i3. Instead, it loads openbox. What I do then to load i3 is that I log out, press F1, and log back in. Any thoughts how can I fix it so that it loads i3 every time I start the computer? I am running Crunchbang Waldorf.

Are you using DM (lightDM/XDM/SLIM) or startx from tty? If you use startx, adding exec i3 in your .xinitrc will help you.

Yes, just replace "exec openbox-session" in your ~/.xinitrc with "exec i3". Or, if ~/.xinitrc is not present, create it and add "exec i3" line to it.

SLIM has been abandoned. Install lightdm if you need a DM and then remove SLIM. If you install lightdm you should then have the option to boot i3 or openbox.
