Yes, it gives no more information on what is the error, it works the same on dm and tty

and whould xinit fix it?

EDIT: forgot to mention that i managed to get opengl to work (so it shouldnt be opengl window opening error, or maybe it tries to open window before starting wm)

EDIT2: could this be the same reason for dwm: cant open display and xorg: authentiction required but no athentication protocol specified?

You have to run the program in xinit.

Your screenshot isn't loading btw.

why xinit and not like script in greetd environment entry

oh, i thouth it can be downloaded at least bc there was add attachment button and that's what i used.

and error msg in screenshot is:

Failed to open display
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char const*'

also xinit dumps this (idk if it is bc i tried to see what it does on xwayland)

/usr/lib/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

and dumps different errors when starting from tty nad no x server running.

tbh, im xwaylnd user and xorg only is like new to me, i have only tried dwm with sddm but now i have greetd set up but dwm won't open too (it could be old build but xorg is unmaintained anyway right?)

I've never used greetd. Seems like it is mostly used for Wayland compositors. I wouldn't know how to start an x server from it.

Doesn't seem like your method is properly starting an xserver.

I just put my config in .xinitrc and run startx in the tty

Can I use xinit in dm?

EDIT: I can, but no matter if I use greetd or tty to execute startx, it crashes in seconds after launching and using firefox in it (no MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 in /etc/environment).

EDIT2: ~~firefox isn't only program that crashes HackMatrix, maybe it does it by itself.~~ idk, xorg issue? thunar cant be focused unles i launch other app or launch firefox.
