Hi all, long time fedora/xfce user here who recently switched to i3wm. I’m having some issues such as apps taking quite a while to start (ex. thunar
) which I fixed by adding a few lines to the ~/.xinitrc
file (see below). My issue now is trying to run containers using podman-compose
. I run into
Error: unable to create pod: unable to create pod cgroup for pod 46ccd4325d1c2ff61c40afdadeb0520a41ae77e5479064c4bbe6ba94301ad4cb: error creating cgroup user.slice/user-libpod\_pod\_46ccd4325d1c2ff61c40afdadeb0520a41ae77e5479064c4bbe6ba94301ad4cb.slice: The name org.freedesktop.systemd1 was not provided by any .service files
This is being run from xfce4-terminal
in i3. When it’s run within xfce it runs without issue, leading me to believe it’s something to do with the way I’m starting i3.
My question is what am I missing to properly switch from xfce to i3?
My ~/.xinitrc file is
# Without this block the apps like thunar take forever to start
for file in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
. $file
done
exec i3
Edit: Forgot to add I just switch to another tty, login, then run startx
to get into i3.
