I3, polybar won't start, how to fix?

Question

linux

The problem is, I installed i3 and decided to install polybar. Added the following to the i3 config:

exec_always --no-startup-id $HOME/.config/polybar/launch.sh

my launch.sh

#!/usr/bin/env sh

killall -q polybar

while pgrep -x polybar >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done

polybar top &

In this case, polybar is launched through the terminal with the command "polybar example"

Answer 1

Open the polybar config and see what your bar is called, by default it should be [bar/example].
Accordingly, in the launcher, replace withpolybar example &
