I really appreciate your help, Tycho! I tested it out again and it's the *pavucontrol* package that make qtile/xorg work.
But I'm absolutely sure I intstalled the *libpangocairo-1.0-0, cairocffi, xcffib, dbus-next *package on my system (as described in the docs). Where exactly do you see that a libcairo package is missing? Are there any other packages that I need that are NOT mentioned in the docs? Also I don't understand why the documentation says when launching qtile through startx you need to put "exec qtile" in the .xinitrc file. That doesn't work. Only when running it with "qtile start". Any idea? Best regards, Arif Tycho Andersen schrieb am Mittwoch, 14. Juli 2021 um 14:14:31 UTC+2: > On Wed, Jul 14, 2021 at 05:05:21AM -0700, Arif wrote: > > I do.
