as title.
arch wiki for lxdm suggests editing /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
"session=/usr/bin/startlxde"
and changing "startlxde" to eg "startxfce4" etc.
i tried "starti3", but this does not work, logging into the default xfce desktop instead.
any help appreciated.
Basically, the Arch wiki page has all the info you need: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/... "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=i3Since /usr/share/xsessions/i3.desktop should exist, this should set i3 as the wm for your user.
"starti3" is not the name of a binary in /usr/bin.
Instead, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.p... and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/... 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.
