Hello. When I start Qtile through my DM, I immediately get logged out. Starting it with startx gives me the following line:

Code:

waiting or X server to shut down (II) Server terminated succesfully (0). Closing log file....Location: 47.50 N, 19.04 Eusage: qtile [-h] [-v] {start,shell,top,run-cmd,cmd-obj,check,migrate,help} ...Did you mean:/usr/lib/python-exec/python

(I just put exec qtile into my .xinitrc, maybe that's the problem here?) Both Qtile's and Xorg's logs are empty. What can I do?

Please change your entry in .xinitrc to

Code:

exec qtile start

and retry 'startx' from a TTY console.

See: https://docs.qtile.org/en/stable/manual/install/index.html

Yeah, I forgot about that, thanks. It works with startx now, but I still can't log in through my DM (ly). Both the .desktop and the Sessions file are using qtile start.
