I have installed Arch with BSPWM window manager and Polybar as a bar. When i first start the x session the bar does not show up. When I do a restart "super+shif+r" the bar starts working. Can anyone tell me why that is happening. I would think it is the .xinitrc file that is causing the issue but i dont know enough to determine the problem

How did you configure polybar to launch?
If you are using bspwm, add the following line to bspwmrc:
$HOME/.config/polybar/launch.sh

Thank you. The issue was that I had a space at the beginning of the command. Thank you for your help
