Instead, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124088 and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM#Sessionlist suggest that lxdm respects /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop, so try `session=i3` (there should also be an i3 entry in the session drop-down menu in LXDM). This is all speculative since I don’t use LXDM.Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:05:56 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/639/auto-login-with-lxdm/?answer=649#post-id-649https://faq.i3wm.org/question/639/auto-login-with-lxdm/?answer=751#post-id-751Basically, the Arch wiki page has all the info you need: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM "session=/usr/bin/i3" should work, but is only a fallback. Instead, you should configure your "~/.dmrc" as suggested on the wiki with: [Desktop] Session=i3 Since /usr/share/xsessions/i3.desktop should exist, this should set i3 as the wm for your user.
