Okay, using latest Archlabs, 64-bit, lighning fast, love it!
When I start Archlabs with a reboot, I have to enter my username and password, and then type “startx” each time to start the distro. I choose to enter my username and password each time, but why “startx” on a plain screen each time? Very puzzling. I’m sure it’s something I did during the install process. Can I fix this so that I don’t have to enter “startx” each time?
Many thanks.
Any errors , also might lack something on install. Display Manager, Desktop Environments etc( lightdm, gdm, etc)
Edit; Maybe this thread can help you somehow;
Sounds like you selected to not auto login during the install. If you want to start X after you log in, you’ll need to do some simple edits -
Read the section about Autostart X at login
What shell are you using?
The lines may already be there and just need to be un-commented.
Welcome to the forum
Create a profile file for your shell, this get’s sourced once by login shells so you can put commands you would otherwise type there
~/.zprofile
~/.bash_profile
~/.profile
Whichever it is it should look like this
# run startx when logging in on tty1 and display is not already set
[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ] && startx
Thanks to both of you. I’ll give it a go.
Best.
