*SOLVED* Adding i3 to openbox install of AL

[wammes]

I run AL with openbox but want to add the i3 window manager. What’s the best way to do this on AL? Just install the packages or do I run the welcome script again?

Yes, the script AL brings the right packages, I use it.

Thank you.

I followed these tips to switch the managers

Possible to switch between i3 and openbox without lightdm?

I’m fairly new to Linux so bear with me please. I skipped the lightdm in the installation but installed i3wm and openbox and chose it to use openbox as default. Is there an easy way to still swith over to i3 without having the option to logout since that just logs me in to openbox again. I guess it’s because I have no display manager installed. Thanks.

I hope it helps!!
