BSPWM not starting from the display manager
I'm using Ubuntu with Gnome, when i go to the display manager, choose bspwm and type my password then hit enter the screen freezes and bspwm doesn't launch.
Here's my bspwmrc file even though I don't think the problem is here:
#! /bin/sh
pgrep -x sxhkd > /dev/null || sxhkd &
#setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle fr,us,ar &
picom &
feh --bg-fill $HOME/Downloads/Wallpapers/pink1.jpg
killall -q polybar
polybar -c ~/.config/polybar/config.ini main -r &
bspc monitor -d I II III IV V VI VII
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &
picom --experimental-backends &

I just figured it out! Here's how I fixed it:
chmod +x both bspwmrc and sxhkdrc
copy bspwm.desktop to the xsessions folder with:
sudo cp (folder where bspwm is installed)/contrib/freedesktop/bspwm.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/
