i3 and Lightdm

[lispy]

Hi,
first I want to say thank you for this great piece of laptop. I received it yesterday and the hardware is really nice.
Only minor glitch is that it seems to be a bit light and so it's feet are lifted when the screen is fully opened. I think, I can attach a tiny weight and this would fix it.

BUT: Did anyone manage to change the session in lightdm? I tried to set user-session=i3 in lightdm.conf but it won't pick it up.
I also selected i3 from update-alternatives --config -x-window-managers, but also, no result. Even worse, my rock User won't login anymore.

What is the proper way to select the WM-Session in Debian? I never had any issues in Ubuntu. To I have to set something in the .xresource file?

In /var/lib/AccountsService/users det your file with session i3.

Thanks for that. As you are doing the same thing as me on the same hardware, I am wondering if you came across this problem:

i3 is up and running, but I can't choose the font because of this veery odd bug, or so it seems.

I got it working by removing the "pango" part of "font pango" in the default config.
