I want to start X on my system with startx - i.e. log into my system just from a tty, and then start X by hand (and i3 will be my window manager, I just have an .xsession file in my $HOME, where I start i3) - I do not want any desktop-services / desktop-manager / graphical login manager (this may seem old school - but has worked fine for me for years under debian). I cannot really get this working though: I have xinit installed (with startx therein, cf. my config below), but when I startx on the command line, I get this: xauth: file /home/rx/.serverauth.1957 does not exist xinit: unable to run server "/gnu/store/8v0sja48lmlx5j28hs2mci2rr7v8ilm5-xinit-1.4.1/bin/X": No such file or directory Use the -- option, or make sure that /gnu/store/8v0sja48lmlx5j28hs2mci2rr7v8ilm5-xinit-1.4.1/bin is in your path and that "/gnu/store/8v0sja48lmlx5j28hs2mci2rr7v8ilm5-xinit-1.4.1/bin/X" is a program or a link to the right type of server for your display. Possible server names include: Xorg Common X server for most displays Xvfb Virtual frame buffer Xfake kdrive-based virtual frame buffer Xnest X server nested in a window on another X server Xephyr kdrive-based nested X server Xvnc X server accessed over VNC's RFB protocol Xdmx Distributed Multi-head X server xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: unexpected signal 2 Also, in the guix manual I find an "xorg-start-command" mentioned, but I don't know how that is supposed to be used (or if I need it at all)? - thus xorg-start-command is commented out below.
