I'm using Linux mint, and I want two windows managers (MATE and xmonad) running on different pipes. I installed xmonad, and when I choose xmonad from the login screen it works perfectly.But, when I move to pipe tty1, login, and run startx xmonad, I get an error:<home dir>/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)The screen is white, and pressing Alt-Shift-Enter opens a window for a split second then returns to the white screen.Why? How can I fix this?
starting multiple x-sessions with different DE/WMs with startx in Linux Mint
linux mint;window manager;xmonad;startx
You must give the full path : startx /usr/bin/xmonadWhat happens when you run startx xmonad is xmonad is treated like an argument for the default client : xterm. So xterm xmonad is ran.
