Hey @a-baghdadi,

Thanks for the feedback, this is strange indeed! Could you please run espanso log and post the output here?

Cheers

Thank you dear federico-terzi for your fast reply

I am using DWM on Arch
Here you are :

[ali@nuc ~]$ espanso log
09:41:44 [ INFO] espanso version 0.4.1
09:41:44 [ INFO] using config path: /home/ali/.config/espanso
09:41:44 [ INFO] using package path: /home/ali/.local/share/espanso/packages
09:41:44 [ INFO] starting daemon...
09:41:44 [ERROR] Error, can't connect to X11 context

[federico-terzi]

It seems like espanso is unable to connect to X11.
Are you using Wayland? Otherwise, it may be due to something going on with DWM.
You could also try executing espanso -v daemon and see if you still see Error, can't connect to X11 context.

Let me know :)

[NetHunterz]

espanso -v daemon works without problem (a few errors) like this :
[ERROR] Unable to receive char: invalid utf-8 sequence of 1 bytes from index 1

I am using X11 (not wayland)

Thank you very much

Switched to Xfce4 and still the same with espanso start and espanso is not running
like DWM.

Is there a $DISPLAY environment variable present when starting espanso? Where are you running espanso start? That error appears when you have no $DISPLAY at all or just an invalid value for the variable.

[NetHunterz]

[ali@nuc ~]$ echo $DISPLAY
:0

I run espanso from ST terminal in Archlinux and DWM

[NetHunterz]

The problem is solved.
I copied xinitrc again from its default location to home folder and everything works fine.

thank you federico-terzi and Scrumplex.

[federico-terzi]

Glad to hear that @a-baghdadi :)

You mean cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~ ?

Hi, yes exactly, and then add _exec dwm_ to the end of _.xinitrc_ for my window manager. the main command is : cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

I have the same issue and tried resetting my xinitrrc. Nothing was resolved... Anyone have any solutions? My display variable is :0 as well so I don't know why it can't connect to the X11 server

Hey @hisbaan,
Could you please try to follow these steps and see if that helps: #243
Cheers :)
