I used the 1st option(Generate the config files) but nothing happened so I deleted the config files and run `config-wizard-config` command then I chose the 2nd option but still I can't see the status bar. I dual boot another Ubuntu 12.10 and I installed i3 there and the status bar showed up. How can I solve this problem ? Edit: THis is what I have when pressing tab after i3 in the terminal : suhaib@suhaib:~$ i3 i3 i3-sensible-editor i3-config-wizard i3-sensible-pager i3-dump-log i3-sensible-terminal i3-input i386 i3-migrate-config-to-v4 i3bar i3-msg i3lock i3-nagbar i3status Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:50:22 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1494/status-bar-not-showing-up/Comment by bruno.braga for I installed i3wm with Ubuntu 12.10 But the status bar is not showing up.
