I installed i3 when first set up my machine, but I can't seem to get it working..
Has anyone else experienced issues with i3?
In my case, no applets are shown in the bar and I cannot start any programs from VM's (any VM).
If I run qvm-ls, it shows that VM's are running, and if I try to do somethings like qvm-run <appVM> firefox, my CPU responds.
Just a peculiar issue, but makes i3 unusable for me nonetheless..
Any feedback appreciated :)
Cheers!
Did you follow the installation instructions on https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/i3/? Specifically:
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing i3-settings-qubes
What do you mean you cannot start any programs from vms? How are you trying to start programs? For me I have mod4+d to use dmenu. And do you mean to say that qvm-run works correctly?
Yesh, I have followed those steps (but please also note that the documentation is related to 3.2, and as such it might be that i3 has actually been bumped to the stable repos, but I don't know :)

My dmenu is broken, for starters. Dmenu only shows dom0 applications, so I cannot start anything that way.
When I run qvm-run to start something, I can see that my VM is started (with qvm-ls) and I can hear my CPU responding (as in it starts fanning), but nothing visually happens. Nothing is ever started.
